What can I eat to break a fast?
Quick answer
Break a fast with a normal, balanced meal you can digest comfortably.
Step by step
01 Plan the first meal before the fast ends.
02 Eat slowly.
03 Track how you feel 30-60 minutes later.
The longer answer
After a typical daily intermittent fast, most people do not need a special refeed. A balanced meal with protein, fiber-rich carbs, healthy fats, and fluids is usually easier than a huge meal.
Tip
The best fast-breaking meal is boringly stable, not dramatic.
Common mistake
Breaking a fast with a giant meal because you feel 'owed' food.
Track in the app
Track the drink or first meal, fasting duration, hunger, energy, and whether you completed the planned fast.
