Clinical studies show that the 16:8 protocol produces a spontaneous caloric deficit of 300—500 kcal per daycompared to traditional food — not counting a single calorie (Obesity, 2020). In other words, if you eat well in the 8-hour window, your body does the job on its own. The menu below is built exactly on this principle: hearty and balanced meals that respect your fasting window and give you energy for the whole day.
This menu is designed for the 16/8 plan, where you have a daily window of 8 hours in which you consume 2 main meals (eg: 12:00 — 20:00). Cada día proporciona 1,800—2,200 kcal, con un indición medio de 90—130g de proteina e 25—35 g de fibra.

No. The hours can be adjusted according to your lifestyle, as long as you keep the 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating.
Not necessarily. Sometimes a full meal and a snack can be enough, as long as you reach your nutritional needs.
Technically yes, but in practice no. The 16/8 plan only works if the meals are of quality. Shaorma + pizza = “Fixed NonIntermittent” 😄
