100% this for me. I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. I do brazilian jiu jitsu around 6-9 and skip dinner. When I come home Im not hungry at all for at least an hour. Ill get a little hungry and if I eat or drink anything, the floodgates open and I cant stop eating. It is better to go to sleep a little hungry.

I try to have a 500 calorie deficit. If I have more than about 500 (say 1000) Im fine that day, but the next day Im ravenous and tend to overeat.

Oof this was me yesterday. Ate one large meal and snack between 2pm and 5pm because I had a work event in the evening. Got home around 9:30pm and really wanted to eat something and I almost did.

Drank a few cans of seltzer and wound up staying up doing emails and chores until 2am. Woke up at 9am today and I'm feeling a bit hungry at 11:20am, but even if I eat something now, it will be a net negative compared to what I would have eaten last night.
