Hi @slbings and welcome

One of the many good things about this way of eating is that you do it the way it works for you.

If you read the FOQs at the top of the page you’ll see that Michael Mosley answers the question ‘Do the calories have to be in one meal or spread across the day?’

as follows
‘There have been different studies using different approaches. People who took part in Dr Krista Varady’s studies of Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) had just one meal a day, at lunchtime. Those who took part in Dr Michelle Harvie’s studies of the 2 Day Diet at several small meals a day. Michael prefers having two meals a day, breakfast and an evening meal. Mimi prefers several small meals. Which approach is better? The one you can stick to. Some people find, for example, that eating breakfast actually makes them feel hungrier later in the morning.’

Some of us go from dinner on the last non fast day to dinner on the fast day when they have a meal of 500 calories. Others have 3 small meals or like Michael Mosley, 2 meals.

It’s about trying different ways to see what works best for you and what fits in best with your own life style. The main thing is that you eat no more than the recommended 500 calories on your fast day – how you do it is up to you.

If you read the ‘how?’ and ‘faq’ links at the top of the page it will help and there are also some notes here which you might like to read
