Key Takeaways
- Consistent tracking increases adherence. Journaling your fasting days, weight trends, and energy levels helps you identify patterns and stay on track.
- All data is stored locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server — your entries stay private on your device.
- Weight fluctuates daily due to hydration, food volume, and glycogen levels. Focus on the overall trend rather than individual day-to-day readings.
- Export your data as CSV at any time for backup or to analyze in a spreadsheet.
How to Use This Tracker
Step 1: Click “Add Entry” to log a fasting day. Choose the protocol you followed (16:8, 18:6, 20:4, 5:2, 4:3, etc.).
Step 2: Optionally record your weight and rate your energy level on a 1-5 scale. Mark whether you adhered to the protocol.
Step 3: Add brief notes about how you felt, what you ate on eating windows, or any observations.
Step 4: Review your summary statistics — streaks, adherence rate, weight trend, and average energy level.
Tips for Effective Tracking
Weigh consistently: If tracking weight, weigh yourself at the same time each day (e.g., first thing in the morning before eating) to minimize daily variation.
Focus on streaks: The streak counter helps you build momentum. Even small streaks of 3-5 days can reinforce the habit.
Review weekly: Look at your data weekly rather than daily. Day-to-day fluctuations are normal and not meaningful.
Use notes: Brief notes help you correlate how you feel with what you did. Over time, you'll notice which protocols suit you best.
