Last week's poll question asked how you prefer to split up your calories on a fast day. A whopping 60% of you voted that you prefer to have just one meal for your fasts, with only 25% opting to split their calories into 2 meals. Around 4% of you do a zero calorie fast. It's great to see so many users embracing the idea of a longer period without food on their fast days, but what's important is that you find a way which fits with your lifestyle and works for you.

From your responses to the poll it would seem many of you started on more meals and cut down to just the one (or sometimes a main meal but with a small snack in the day) because it made you less hungry throughout the day. Once we start eating, it can trigger what some of us call 'the hunger switch'.

This week's poll is about which days you fast - click here to pop along and cast your vote!
