Step by step
The longer answer
Coffee with oat milk usually is usually not fasting-friendly because oat milk adds calories and carbs. In everyday intermittent fasting, the easiest rule is to keep the fasting window to water, plain tea, and black coffee unless you intentionally follow a modified fast. Track the choice so you can see whether it affects cravings or consistency.
If coffee with oat milk makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
Changing the rule for coffee with oat milk every day and then not knowing what actually helped.
Track the fasting window, coffee with oat milk, hunger, energy, and whether you finished the fast.
