2pm to 2pm - how many calories?

I couldn't do my usual all-day fast yesterday, so I started after a light lunch.

I had about 230 calories last night, but I'm confused about what I eat today - do I count my post-2pm lunch in the 500 calories, or does the 500 calories total, including dinner yesterday evening,just include breakfast?

Thank you! 😊

When it comes to intermittent fasting, you must be awake during fasting. If you include the time of your sleep during fasting, that approach is not effective. So, forget about the last night's dinner. Count from the time you wake up and decide on how many calories to have.
