What’s the best way to follow a 1.5 meals per day eating pattern?

Having your first meal around 1:00 p.m. and your last, lighter meal between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. allows for a 19 to 20-hour fasting window each day.

During your first meal, focus on consuming heavier proteins and fats. For the second meal, opt for a light salad with healthy fats.

Because the second meal is lighter, it has a lesser impact on insulin levels.

Eating 1.5 meals per day, rather than just one, helps distribute your caloric intake and ensures you receive all necessary nutrients.

This approach provides the benefits of a 20-hour fast while making it easier to meet your nutritional needs.
