Ideal eating interval for the ten-hour window

Determining the optimal eating window is aligned with your wake-up time, taking the following into account:

Eating after waking up

Wait at least one hour after waking up before eating breakfast.

Eating before bedtime

Do not eat or consume caloric beverages for at least two hours before bedtime.

Selecting an eating window

In the table, white cells indicate the ideal 10-hour eating intervals relative to wake-up and bedtime, while gray cells show less optimal, yet still preferable options compared to continuous eating.

Hydration

You may consume water and calorie-free beverages outside of your eating window.
