With MyFitnessPal, you’re used to tracking your steps, water intake, weight, calorie intake, and nutrition. With an intermittent fasting tracker, you can also track your fast duration and track your progress towards your goals.
Looking to try intermittent fasting for the first time? Our app includes a quick guide and tips to help you assess whether it’s right for you and your goals. (Of course, we always advise consulting a healthcare professional before making any dietary changes.) If you’re already familiar with the basics, keep scrolling for more features.
Find out if intermittent fasting is right for you.
SELECT YOUR FAST DURATION GOAL
Not sure where to start? Each 24-hour period has a fasting window and an eating window. You will choose one of three fasting patterns depending on your lifestyle or goals. Fast for 12, 14 or 16 hours. During fasting, try to stick to calorie-free drinks like water, coffee and tea. During meals, enjoy regular meals and make sure you hit your protein goal. And don’t worry, you can change your post pattern at any time.
The choice is yours.
START AND STOP YOUR SPEED ON DEMAND
While it’s ideal to have consistent start and end times for fasting, we understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan (1). It is completely up to you when you want to start and stop your fast.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS EASILY
You can view the Intermittent Fasting Tracker in the More menu. You can also log meals, exercise and hydration in the same app for more comprehensive tracking. This makes tracking your progress even easier.
NEVER FORGET TO FAST
Forgot to start the timer? Not a problem. Make sure you accurately record every minute of your post with the ability to change the start and end times. Forgot to track your post completely? And we’ve got that covered—simply manually make a quick note of any days you’ve forgotten to track.

View your post details by week on the post history screen. See how consistent you are from day to day and how you’ve improved over time.
