That&#x27;s correct. Lots of people do 16&#x2F;8 fasting. It&#x27;s easy to get used to skipping breakfast and having your first meal 5 or 6 hours after you wake up and then only eat in the following 8 hour window.<p>I use intermittent fasting as a very effective way to keep my total daily caloric intake in check.  If there are side benefits on health that is a cherry on top.<p>A typical day for me would be up at 7 am.  2 or 3 cups of strong black coffee until noon.  I&#x27;ll eat two main meals of ~800 calories at noon &amp; 5:30pm and then sprinkle 1000 calories worth of snacks all throughout my eating window until 8pm.  I stay very satiated all day in this fashion...much more so than if I were to eat breakfast first thing in the morning.
