How do I use this calculator?
The basic portion of this calculator allows you to calculate the end time of a 36-hour fast or the start time based on the end time.
Calculator Operations:
- Enter the start time of your fast to calculate the end time (which will be 36 hours later).
- Enter the end time of your fast to calculate the start time (which will be 36 hours earlier).
- Ensure that you only fill in either the start time or the end time, not both.
The advanced version of this calculator allows you to select different types of fasts (36, 48, or 72 hours) and calculates the end time based on the selected fast duration.
Use the calculate button when all known values have been entered and use the reset button when you want to clear the values from the calculator.
Calculate a 36-hour window’s exact start or end time, check elapsed and remaining time, and map 12-, 18-, 24-, and 36-hour calendar milestones.

What is a 36 Hour Fast?
A 36-hour fast is a form of intermittent fasting that involves abstaining from all forms of food and calorie intake for a full 36 hours. This means that if you finish your last meal at 8 PM, you will not eat again until 8 AM two days later. During this period, you can only consume non-caloric beverages such as water, black coffee, or tea. The purpose of a 36-hour fast is to put your body into a state of ketosis, where it begins to burn stored fat for energy instead of relying on the immediate energy from food. This can lead to weight loss, improved metabolic health, and even potentially increased longevity. It’s important to note that this type of fasting should be done under medical supervision, as it can have side effects and may not be suitable for everyone.
