I am trying the 16/8 method. I try to have 3 meals, no snacks. But sometimes end up having only 2 meals no snacks.
I do 20:4 and always have two, sometimes three meals, plus snacks. I almost always have a breakfasty meal to start the day, even though that isn’t until 2PM. Eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, fruit. Some combination.
Then I have a small dinner right near the end of my window. In between, I’ll eat things like greek yogurt, bowl of soup, a wrap, granola bars, cheese and crackers, fruit. With no set schedule.
It’s not how many meals, it’s more so the amount of calories in the eating period. You still want to hit your calorie target and no more in the eating window. Have a look online and work out your BMR, this will help you work out your calories…
16:8 / 18:6 - 2 meals, normally breakfast and lunch. Usually Im hitting 1200/1300 kcal in each window. I dont do keto but I try to balance each meal (I dont take carb based meals, but I can sometimes add a whole wheat wrap, some Wasa bread, etc)
