Time-Restricted Eating Daily Pattern
Attia's personal daily TRE pattern combined with avoiding liquid calories, used for caloric control rather than for purported meal-timing benefits.
Assembled by Cited from Peter Attia's recorded recommendations across multiple sources. It is not an ordered program and was not created or endorsed by them — it's our grouping of what they've said on the record.
Components

In a protocol
Attia personally eats first meal at 2pm and dinner at 6-7pm to manage total caloric intake — not for purported metabolic magic from meal timing.

In a protocol
Attia avoids drinking calories (other than protein shakes); notes liquid fructose appears especially problematic and drives appetitive overconsumption.

How this protocol has evolved
Attia previously did long water-only fasts (7-10 days quarterly, 3 days monthly) but stopped around 2021 after losing 16-20 lbs of muscle over 3 years; now sticks to TRE only for caloric control.
