Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that tracks fasting windows and prompts users to log specific symptoms like fatigue or muscle soreness to identify patterns.
  2. A verified database or directory connecting users with registered dietitians who specialize in intermittent fasting for athletes.
  3. A standardized checklist or guide for intermittent fasters to monitor key health markers like energy levels and recovery time during exercise.
