From your previous post, I see that you are a shift-worker and want to start a 16:8 regime. How much weight do you want to lose? My husband lost 45 pounds, if that’s any incentive for you.
Plan your meals in advance. Shop for ingredients in advance. Make batches of soup for easy meals. Plan to drink lots of water, both for hydration and to fill you up. Hide [or get rid of] the snack food.
When you are on night-shift, you work an 8-hour day [i assume], bracketed by waking up hours and winding down hours. To maintain your 16:8 eating window, why not eat when you wake up [“breakfast’] and then when work is almost done. How do you eat on a day-time work shift? Can’t you then translate that to a night-time shift?
Do not wake yourself up to eat! Do you find yourself to be more hungry or less hungry during the night shift? If less hungry, just go with it. There is no problem with not eating while you work, as long as you stay hydrated. Don’t know what work you do, but lots of people go to work while doing a total water-only fast and do just fine.
Happily for him, my husband did not work night shift.
Good luck. happy to help with more answers or recipes if you need them.
LOTS of recipes, David, for Breakfasts and Dinners. We don’t eat lunch, but there are some smoothie meals. Anyhow, not knowing what you are specifically looking for [seafood? meat? vegetarian?] I will direct you to my Profile: click my handle, see the Profile, look for my blog name and go there. The purpose of the blog is to help Fasters like you to find good recipes where the food values are all worked out. I make no money from this blog.
Hope you find some things you like.
