Creating a Customized Eating Schedule

At Betr Health, we offer a generalized sample schedule in the Level 1 resource area. This is intended to be a helpful guide for individuals who wake up around 7 am and want to create their own eating schedule.

Our goal is to use a general approach of eating 2-3 hours after waking up, and then every 2-3 hours throughout the day while awake, while always striving to match your appetite. Typically, morning hunger starts about 2-3 hours after waking up, unless you are active with your job or general lifestyle. If medications necessitate food at the start of the day, please follow your doctor's orders.

If you are finding the generalized sample schedule doesn't quite fit your needs, you can focus on the 2-3 rule to create a customized eating schedule to fit your lifestyle. If you have any questions, please reach out to our team at [email protected].

Sample schedule for an early riser:
