Intermittent fasting is an eating plan where you eat during specific times of day and then fast for the rest of the day. Fasting before bed — for instance, by simply eating dinner earlier and avoiding late-night snacks — can also lead to improved sleep. Connect your Oura Ring to the Zero intermittent fasting app to view your fasting data and Oura biometrics in correlated graphs, which can provide insight into how intermittent fasting impacts your overall health.

Setting Up the Zero Fasting App
In the Zero App
- Select the Settings icon in the top right corner of the Me tab

To disconnect Oura from Zero, select the toggle next to Oura in the Connected Apps menus. This will stop any data sharing between the two apps. You can find more information about connecting to Zero on their website.
Data Synced with the Zero Fasting App
The Zero app automatically integrates your Oura Sleep, Readiness, and Activity Scores into its data graphs. The lowest nighttime resting heart rate (RHR) from the previous night is used as your resting heart rate in the Zero app.
If your app reflects out-of-date readings, you can manually resync the last 60 days of data.
- Select the Settings icon in the top right corner of the Me tab
- Select Connected Apps
- Tap Resync Data
- Select Oura from the pop-up menu
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble syncing data between Oura and a third-party app, please try the following troubleshooting steps.
Reset Integration
Please make sure your phone is on the latest version of its operating system, and follow these steps:
- Open the Oura App
- Tap the menu
in the upper-left corner
- Tap Settings
- Scroll down to "Data Sharing" and select the appropriate app integration
- Turn all the settings switches off and then turn them back on
As a final step, turn your device on and off again before trying to import another activity through the integration.
Reinstall Oura App
To backup and reinstall the Oura App:
- Open the Oura App
- Select the menu
- Tap Settings
- Scroll down to "Account"
- Select "Back up all data"
- When the back up is finished, uninstall and reinstall the Oura App
Other Troubleshooting
If you link your Oura App to a third party app such as Apple Health or Health Connect by Android, your height, weight, age, and sex will be imported from those apps into Oura, and you will not be able to edit them unless you unlink the apps.
The Oura App might not import data from integrations if both apps were not opened before midnight, if "Background App Refresh" is disabled, or if "Lower Power Mode" is enabled. Open both Oura and the integrated app at least once a day to prevent this.
The Oura App will only sync activities for the current day. If you are having trouble syncing your activity, verify that "Date Added" matches the date on which the activity occurred. If the imported activity includes calorie data, you can't manually edit the data in the Oura App. Edit the calorie info through the app used to track your activity.
When tracking activity, Oura only records your active calories. These calories include the calories you burn during exercise and not your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, the number of calories required to keep your body functioning while at rest). Other fitness trackers and health apps will combine active calories and BMR. As a result, their calorie burn estimations may differ slightly from Oura's.
