I don't understand the 16:8 idea. I would still eat 3 meals, just with dinner a little earlier. 8 hours window feels too big to be called fasting.

- globular-toast 6y agoEven a "normal" 3 meal pattern involves fasting overnight. That's why we call the first meal breakfast. This is just extending that overnight fast to 16 hours. I think if you tried to eat 3 meals in 8 hours you'd eat smaller meals. Otherwise you'd be stuffing yourself full.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoNot necessarily. IIRC, food leaves your stomach within 2-5 hours, and it varies depending on person and what the food is. I'm gonna guess you could fit in a light breakfast and a fairly decently sized lunch and dinner in that 8-hour window.
