What Does a Sample Eating Schedule Look Like During Intermittent Fasting?

“How on earth can I get all the nutrition I need while intermittent fasting?” you might ask when you’re just getting started. Here’s what a sample schedule might look like if you follow the popular 16/8 intermittent fasting plan:


7 a.m. Wake up, drink black coffee.

11 a.m. Hydrate with Fasting Today before a lunchtime yoga class.

12 p.m. Break your fast with a grilled chicken salad, with a slice of whole-grain sourdough on the side.

2 p.m. Drink a latte with added collagen.

4 p.m. Snack on hard-boiled eggs with cucumbers and carrot sticks, plus hummus.

8 p.m. Eat dinner: a tofu stir-fry with brown rice noodles and vegetables, followed by a small amount of dark chocolate.

11 p.m. Sip on herbal tea before bed.


To help support hydration, reduce hunger and promote muscle health, consider supplementing with electrolytes, amino acids and fiber.*
