FAQ
Intermittent Fasting FAQ
- What is the best intermittent fasting protocol for beginners?
- 16:8 is a common starting point: for example, skip breakfast and eat between noon and 8 PM, which fits most schedules. Some people begin with a gentler 12:12.
- Does Pacali track what I eat during my eating window?
- Yes. Pacali combines fasting tracking with full calorie and macro tracking. Snap a photo of your meal during your eating window and Pacali's AI logs it in under 3 seconds.
- Can I customize my fasting window?
- Yes. Enter any fast length from 1 to 72 hours and Pacali tracks it.
- Does the fasting timer work when the app is closed?
- Yes. Your fast keeps counting while the app is closed, and Pacali sends a notification when it reaches its target.
- Is intermittent fasting safe?
- Intermittent fasting is not suitable for everyone. If you have a medical condition such as diabetes, are pregnant or breastfeeding, are under 18, or have a history of eating disorders, talk to a healthcare professional before fasting. Pacali does not provide medical advice.
