That’s what I did for a long time. But somehow it didn’t feel right. I then switched to 4pm to 8am. Works way better for me now

So early dinner? And then a big breakfast?

It’s hard with a family though if they’re on different schedules.

My approach was that the kids ate things I wouldn’t and so it wasn’t difficult for me to be present and not eat.

And pedagogically it was apparently better than eating, say, just salad or a minuscule serving of the meal, as their mother was concerned about modeling behavior that might encourage diet pathologies (e.g. anorexia).

No real dinner, just a snack in the afternoon. But yes, breakfast and lunch are a bit heavier. When I think about it, maybe it works better now because of lockdown and WFH...dunno
