How to log a completed fast manually

Record a past fast with actual dates, times and its intended target, avoid overlap errors and keep uncertain memories out of precise statistics.

A manual fasting log is useful when the interval has already finished and you never ran a live timer. Reset lets you add a completed session from Trends. You need the actual start, actual end and intended target.

These instructions apply to Reset 1.1.0.

Gather the four details

Before opening the editor, establish:

  1. Start date and time.
  2. End date and time.
  3. Intended target duration.
  4. Whether another entry already covers the same interval.

For example, Monday at 8 pm to Tuesday at 9 am is a 13-hour session. If the original target was 14 hours, keep that target. The completed duration and the intention describe different facts.

Enter the dates before trusting the hours

An overnight session needs two different dates. Entering 8 pm and 9 am on the same date makes the end earlier than the start.

Reset rejects end times before the start and times in the future. It also checks for overlaps with completed and active sessions. These checks help prevent duplicate time from inflating the history.

Check the neighbouring entries

If the app reports an overlap, inspect the previous and next session. The new entry may be a duplicate, or an older entry may contain the wrong end date.

Correct the inaccurate entry rather than moving a real time solely to bypass validation. See fixing an overlap error for boundary examples.

Be honest about memory

Manual entry is not a reason to invent exact minutes for a week you cannot remember. If you use an estimate in a personal record, keep its uncertainty in mind when interpreting averages. Reset does not independently verify meal times.

After saving, inspect the entry in the appropriate end-date period. An interval beginning Monday and ending Tuesday belongs to Tuesday’s completed history. The history date explanation can help if an entry appears somewhere unexpected.
