Eating Window
A defined time period when food is consumed.
The eating window gives structure to your day and removes constant decisions about when to eat. Instead of spreading food across many hours, you concentrate it into a clear block of time. This often reduces total intake without needing strict tracking. Over time, your body adapts to this rhythm and hunger becomes more predictable.
