Hi @Nic1681, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about having an option to track intermittent fasting on the Fitbit app with us. I noticed this idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestion board, so I’ve moved your post here. Please support this idea by adding your vote, this helps our developers to keep tracking its popularity and demand over time.
I am fasting every week for one day. No food. Just pure water. And if I feel ok, I prolong it once a month to three days straight. Would be great to track it with fitbit. Also fitbit should know when I fast as my body switches to ketosis and fat burn mode. I am also getting some increaased heart beat and other metrics. Do this 🙂 !
I like to track my Calories on Fitbit. If there was a more granular option to track when I eat something that would allow me to track fasting periods as well.
This would be such a WIN for Fitbit. I'm currently using the "kompanion" app for tracking my intermittent fasting, but getting a gentle buzz from my Fitbit when it's time to stop or start would be such a nice feature. Please make it happen! 🙂
Many people have expressed a desire to track fasting. This has been requested for YEARS. I thought Fitbit listens to what the users want. Why is Fitbit just sitting on this request? We want this and we want it now!!
I am looking to buy a new fitbit and would not hesitate to buy one that had this feature. If you add it, please do not put it in the PREMIUM plan, but make it accessible to the ordinary user.

I can see the idea is under consideration, but as it seems to have had the status for more than a year, I'd like to lift the topic. 🙂 I'm a new customer using Charge 5 and I admit I was a bit surprised that the app doesn't track fasting, as it feels something pretty basic.
I'm sure many community members would value being able to use the app for intermittent fasting. :3 So here's my vote - would love to be able to track intermittent fasting.
Agree that Fitbit should incorporate a fasting tracker. There is more and more scientific research being published on the health benefits of fasting. Seems like this was first suggested by a member of the Fitbit community in 2017… why are Fitbit so slow to respond??
I guess they don’t want to listen to their users or they don’t have the science, technology or people to develop the application with the current hardware that they are using. Remember they innovation comes from new ideas from people’s that have a vision, does Fitbit has that creative minds or is only another watch company!! That’s the question to be or not to be , Fitbit for today or always for tomorrow -- Sent from Space Station Global
I am fasting again and use my Zero app to track my IF. Zero has a compatibility with Fitbit but it seems its not the other way around; where Fitbit is compatible with Zero. However, I am not sure what good it does to have Zero "compatible" with Fitbit. I have to enter my activities, sleep, and food so it is not carried over from Fitbit, I have to enter it manually into the Zero app.
I guess I will try to reach out to Zero to ask what the benefit is to have a compatibility with Fitbit but I have to manually enter all my data. Shouldn't it do it automatically I wonder.
It'd great if intermittent fasting tracking could be available. Since intermittent fasting is directly related with diet and health conditions like heart health, it will be great to tracking total health when fasting. It will be also meaningful to understand the correlation between general health levels and fasting.
Nothing complicated, but it just needs to be a timer that counts down to when your fasting window (editable time frame and schedule/week) is over, which also displays on your device like the HR and steps data. Like "00:47 until fast ends".
Hi @allyshaw, thanks for sharing this product feedback about adding an intermittent fasting tracker to the nutrition tile with us. This idea was already requested in this board, so I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to make sure the product feedback shared here doesn't get confused, or split a popular vote. Please click on the thumbs-up to show your support.
Yes. There needs to be an IF timer so everything is in one place. If Whoop or Oura integrate this first, then I won't need to stay on this platform. This is an easy lift. Make it happen.
