16-Hour Fasts This regimen incorporates a sixteen-hour period of fasting into your daily meal schedule. For example, you might fast from 7 p.m. to 11 a.m. daily. You could also say that you have an eight-hour eating window every day. For that reason, it is sometimes called time-restricted eating. On this schedule, most people skip the morning meal every day. But how many meals you eat within that eight-hour window is your choice. Some people choose to eat two meals during that window and others eat three.
