About this tool

Fasting Window Planner

Plan your 16:8 or 18:6 intermittent fasting eating window around wake time, work and workouts.

Pick the plan, enter your wake time and see when to eat and when to fast. This page brings together 2 separate fasting window planner pages (18:6, 16:8) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.

How to use Fasting Window Planner

  1. 1

    Open Fasting Window Planner on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.

  2. 2

    Choose your plan at the top: 18:6, 16:8. On a phone it is a drop-down list.

  3. 3

    Fill in the fasting window planner for that plan; each of the 2 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.

  4. 4

    Read the result, then switch plan to compare. The page link keeps your plan (?v=eighteen-six), so you can bookmark or share it.

Why use Fasting Window Planner

  • All 2 in one place

    18:6, 16:8 and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching plan takes a tap instead of a new search.

  • Built for each option

    Every plan keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.

  • Shareable view

    The link remembers the plan you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.

Common use cases

  • Set a 13:00 to 19:00 window around an office day and see exactly how much water to drink before the first meal.
  • Work backwards from a 19:00 family dinner to find when your window has to open the next day.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan options does this tool cover?

2: 18:6, 16:8. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=eighteen-six) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.

What is 18:6 intermittent fasting?

Eating all food within a 6-hour window and fasting for the other 18 hours of the day, usually as two meals. It is a step up from 16:8, and the shorter window is the reason most people who follow it eat twice rather than three times.

What does 16:8 intermittent fasting actually mean?

All food for the day goes inside an 8-hour window and the other 16 hours are a water-only fast. The two numbers always add up to 24, so a window from 12:00 to 20:00 means fasting from 20:00 until 12:00 the next day — and around 8 of those 16 hours are usually spent asleep.
