Whether purposely doing IF or if you've always just simply not eaten an early / late meal, what's the time slot during the day that you typically eat? Was going to make a poll but more interested in hours than 'skip breakfast' or something.

I tend to do 9ish to 15:00.

Between 12pm and 8pm (I do an 8hr eating window) and I only do IF every 2-3 days. Otherwise I have breakfast.

Easy to skip breakfast when busy.

Once every couple of months I'll do a 24-36hr fast.

I do an alternative IF

500 calories daily for 2 days of the week, back to back. Usually Monday and Tuesday. Then I can eat whatever I want the rest of the time

I eat a good meal just once, about an hour after I wake up, and then snack a bit here and there throughout the day. Worked wonders for me.

I'm trying to shorten my window now (for no real reason) but I'm just so bored in the morning I almost start eating just to have something to do lol. I've done around 8:00 - 15:00 for a while and the night is fine but I think I'd be a bit hungry if I started at like 10 or 11am instead 🤔

12pm to 8pm for me as well, every day, pretty much on the dot. Lunch at 12, fruit snack mid afto, dinner 8pm. I'm dieting as well, so "missing" breakfast is seriously helping with that!

Usually between 1pm-7pm. Although since Covid and I've been working at home, I've found myself in the habit of having some coffee with a bit of cream in it around 8am. I'll also do a 24-36 hr fast every week or two.

If my coworkers have any interesting ideas for lunch that I happen to be into, I usually just eat at lunch 12:00.

Otherwise I just eat around 19:00~

I eat between 11 am and 7 pm, usually lunch and dinner. Then I don't eat from 7 PM to 11 am, so a 16 hour fast.

I've been doing at a fairly strict 12pm - 8pm eating window every day, and it's been going very well. The only time my window is adjusted is when I go on vacation or sometimes go to a friend's for dinner.
When I'm vacationing, I'm not adhering to any eating schedule. I just eat whenever. (GF prefers it this way. lol)
When I'm at a friend's for dinner, we're usually eating later and/or staying late and snacks and drinks are everywhere. When this happens, I check the time that I last ate, then add 16 hours to that, so I know when I can eat next. I then stop at 8pm and continue my regular fasting schedule again.

It's worked great for me. Good luck!

2pm-6pm. I find that it's much easier to not eat after dinner than to wait longer in the morning.

Lunch to 8 hours after lunch is - it varies. I do the 16 hour fast.

When I do it my systems wired up enough by keto that as long as I don't have a ton going on I'll just do a full day food fast. But it's not part of my normal routine(yet at least). I'm still losing consistently so unless there's a need

5 PM to about 12 AM. I get up later than most, and I usually time my food to when I'm doing my workout, so I have sustenance to run on

I do between 1200 and 1800.

I've never been a bfast person so it was easy to eliminate. I stay up late so lots of water to fight off any cravings.
