Yes! It could be a component of the Log feature. You could select your fasting start and ending times and track trends in your fasting! I have seen some people are interesting in calculating how many calories burned during this time too
And perhaps it could go really deep, and show you for how long youv'e been in ketosis, and about the benefits... like what happens after 2, 4, 12, 16 hours of fasting.
Also it shoul allow you to change your preferences, and schedule everything. I for instance use 16:8 (18:6) combined with 5:2.
Something to keep track of fasting hours, by entering the starting and ending times of fast. So you can see you're weight and the beginning and end of each fast.
It would be great to incorporate intermittent fasting into Fitbit health measurements. I am more interested in tracking hours. Having a chart to show the hours and days fasting took place would be helpful to start with. In time you can add metrics like calories burned while fasting. But starting with just measuring times (16:8) or days (5:2) would be nice.
I currently use Fastrac for my fasting.... Does that mean I shouldn't want a single app that can ultimately track everything regarding my health and fitness?
Just because other apps exist doesn't negate our want for an option on the fitbit app.
There's apps that track fitness, water intake, food intake and steps that are all separate.
The fitbit app tracks all of it for you. The information is all together... Why wouldn't we want our fasting to be a part of all other information? It'll give us a better picture.
I agree. I already log my food, exercise, sleep, weight, etc onto the FitBit dashboard. Now that a lot of people are starting intermittent fasting it would be great to be able to track fasts on the dashboard to see if it is helping with reaching our goals and what duration of fast is working best. It would be nice for the FitBit dashboard/app to be a one stop shop for our fitness/health/weight loss goals
Wholeheartedly agree. Fasting tracker with the ability to log ketone and possibly glucose levels would be amazing. IF is an emergent population and with IF's increasingly legitimized applications in the diabetic and neurological health community, this lifestyle (I hate the word diet) will become a staple feature of millions worldwide. Fitbit, get yourself ahead of the curve!
I think at the minimum FitBit must have the ability to log start and stop times for fasting. This would be be so much more helpful than a "Female Health" tracker. This is something that would be useful to both genders and would prevent the need for using another app to track fasting.
I would love to see this feature implemented. It's definitely an up-and-coming diet trend, and is relatively simple to track. I don't currently track my calories, but I have another entire app just for IF - which isn't particularly good, but I don't have a lot of options for IF tracking either.
I would love this in the fitbit app, I currently use the Zero app to track my fasting. Would be interesting to see what kind of data this could provide.
