I usually have breakfast (but today just grabbed a slice of cheese). Most days I then have 4 snacks, but sometimes more. Last night my kids made gluten free pizza and I had a real dinner with too many carbs. Maybe that's why I'm not eating much today. It's past 6 and I've only eaten 300 calories.

Most days I have a cup of water and bouillon cube after my coffee w/ heavy cream and coconut oil in mornings and that holds me off till 12 and I eat lunch then dinner around 6 if I get hungry later at night I'll drink bouillon cup again (just started this).

I eat a very generous lunch, and a snack at about 7PM. This evolved over a couple of months. If I know I have a lot of physical work in the morning and in the afternoon, I'll take a bulletproof coffee for breakfast and tone down lunch a bit.

I work 3rd shift, so I have bpc when I wake up. I eat dinner with my family, then pack a lunch for work. I might have another bpc before work, and I usually have coffee on one break. I rarely snack.

Weekdays I have coffee with heavy cream for breakfast around 8:30. I eat lunch usually around 2:30, most often leftovers. Busy days I skip lunch with no problem. Dinner is around 6:30 or 7. I have a square of 90% dark chocolate and a spoonful of almond butter as a bedtime snack. No cravings.

Weekends I eat breakfast and skip lunch.

I eat when I'm hungry.

I'm finding it is true for my woe. I only eat when im hungry. Most days i have 3 meals & no snacks. Im very satisfied and not earto ng for the sake of it. First time in 40 years!!!!!

Sometimes I won't have breakfast til 11am or lunch til 3pm when brecky was at 8am, and same theory for dinner. I am just not hungry after eating so well for 5 months now. Yes I do have some blowouts, but not everyday. Some days MFP says 800 calories but my %s were spot on. I'm not sweating it. I know I'm a food addict and cannot circum to it.

I now feel like I'm in control of food, not it being in control of me.

Typically I have 1-2 meals/day. The usual window is somewhere between 2-10 pm. But I don't sweat the hours, I tailor it to my schedule. As long as I have a long window where glucagon is allowed to chip off from stored fat, maintenance is effortless I try avoid any snacking...or «careless calories» which are poor in nutrients.

Curiously enough, I feel more peckish when having CO and cream in morning coffee than when going black. It's a very subtle difference. Like giving the tummy any calories «stirs the beast». I'm very seldom hungry. It's more like «Oh, it's x hrs since I ate, maybe I should eat some». Once I start eating I can pack down thousands of calories YMMV.

Fasting or intermittant fasting with specific eating windows is a Great tool for health weight loss and energy UNLESS you have adrenal fatigue. If you have adrenal fatigue you must eat first thing in the morning to keep your cortisol midrange. Spreading your protein and fat throughout the day perhaps with some bile salts will actually improve your adrenal health and your weight loss. As I said only if you have adrenal fatigue usually accompanied by peri menopause or menopause or divorce or some other stressful situations. Really fasting has to be tweaked to the individual and adrenal health and cortisol levels need to be assessed. The smart thing to do is just go by how you feel if you feel better fasting then fast if you lose more weight and feel better not fasting and spreading out your fat in your protein then do that. You have to listen to your body. It is been my experience that I need to eat first thing in the morning. I will have an egg with some coconut oil or something very small but just something with a little bit of amino acids and fat so that my body can not stress and I can feel both relaxed and energetic. It also helps my weight loss greatly. When I was younger I did a lot of intermittent fasting and I must say that it worked wonders then. But you have to tweak your body in accordance with where you're at at present.

I have coffee with hwc each morning, then lunch around 2, and supper is at 6 ish. I also eat when hungry, instead of by a clock, now, instead of the all day cravings, looking for satisfaction, and never finding it, from carbage! I'm so not hungry now that when I do have hungry days it feels weird!

BPC for breakfast and at 3:30, then dinner at 6ish.

Interesting thread as I just posted this question in my feed. Wall. Whichever it's called lol. I think I'm going to start doing this as BPC's usually hold me pretty good especially if I'm focused on a project.
