    OP - good answers in this thread already. You might wanna read Jason Fung's _Complete Guide to Fasting_, as it's the best book on IF I've seen. Brad Pilon's _Eat Stop Eat_ is good too.

    Point being, they address a lot of these outdated ideas.
    Breakfast = Break - Fast. There's no time allotment.
    And this! It's impossible to "skip breakfast"; it just confuses people. Half the replies in every thread about fasting are people misinterpreting this and thinking it means they can't eat in the morning.
    Daily windows mean you have an eating window and then when it's over, you're done. It's whenever you want it to be.

    "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is marketing to sell cereal...

    Your metabolism is firing 24/7...

    From an evolutionary standpoint, we would have died off a long time ago if breakfast was a necessity...
