Fasting

For those of you who do...How do you handle fasting days on MFP? Since it will not make a post to the wall and show 5-week progression when calories are too low-will it also break the MFP consecutive day streak?

    There's no reason to click complete - unless you REALLY REALLY just love to see that 5-week message. You don't need to push the button to conserve your streak - or even log any food - as long as you log in your streak continues.

    The streak has nothing to do with the diary. It's based on consecutive days logging into the website or app.

    Just make a post to your wall that you're finished eating for the day. Your 5-week projection will be inaccurate due to how you work your deficit anyway.
