Hello @shawncarpenter1, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @gloaming and others. You might find it helpful to scan through the following discussion where I shared my intermittent fasting story along with other members.

I swap up my intermittent fasting windows to control my weight. I normally do 16/8, 18/6, or 20/4 with one or two meals during the eating window. Until I got to where I wanted to be with my weight I limited the carb intake and it was hard at first due to the 20 or 24 hour fast but the longer I did the intermittent fasting the easier it got. I use the free Zero app to track the fasting. Do you use a mobile app to track your fasting or any other method?

No I don't use any mobile apps...I'm kinda technochallenged that way. But I can start just logging it in a notebook. I'm just starting out having just completed the first 28 day challenge. Thanks for the feedback. I might not get enough calories in on mon, but by having a longer eating window on Tue I can pack in more food without neglecting my satiety cues, and by doing this, keep myself from going into a starvation mode. Thank you.
