Nutritional Insights<\/strong>: Ensures your meals provide the nutrients you need during eating periods.<\/p>

Progress Monitoring<\/strong>: Lets you measure progress toward weight, health, and fitness goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the web or mobile app, head to More > Fasting and toggle on ‘Enable Fasting’. From there, you can choose where you’d like the fasting widgets to appear and select a timer preference. View your fasting stats, schedule a fast or view your fasting history.\u00a0<\/p>

If you’re taking advantage of the Fasting Timer, another great feature you can take advantage of is having your fasting periods overlay on any Chart.\u00a0<\/p>

On mobile, tap Discover > Charts and select any Chart. Tap on the Chart and scroll down to toggle on ‘Show Fasting Periods’. This will add an overlay onto the Chart to identify when you were in a fasting period, allowing you to correlate your fasting windows with biometrics (like heart rate, weight, sleep) or specific nutrients.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
