Intermittent fasting
Hello, I'm doing the 5 2 diet and my question is this, what should my calories be on non fast days? I've been keeping it between 1200 and 1500 on the off days then 500 on the fast days, does this sound about right?

From Diagnosis to Balance: My Health Journey in 2025
This year started with a shock. In January, I had bloodwork done for the first time in a while, and the results floored me: an A1C of 8.7%. I hadn’t been tracking my blood sugar before, so this was my first real diagnosis — and it came in high. At that point, I estimate I weighed about 210 pounds. One doctor recommended…

Fasting Timer. Countdown and End time.
My thoughts, besides counting up to the time for example 16hrs, could we have it cout down?16hrs to 0. Also since we use the current time to start it, can we have a time shown when it will be done. For example if a 16hr fast starts at 1:50pm on Tuesday the timer would show what time it will be 16hrs from then.

Fasted toggle button for certain meals
It would be beneficial to have an option next to each meal that indicates if you fasted through that particular meal. If you selected "fasted" it would be even more beneficial to reallocate those calories into the remaining meals.

How do you log a day of fasting?
My name is Karen. I just started using this app to track meals about a week ago and I came across my first challenge, which is how to log a day of fasting. I didn’t pre-plan the fast so when I went to the section that says to Plan a Fast, it doesn’t give an option to log a fast I started earlier in the day. Any thought? 💭…
