Meal Timing: New Study Says Earlier Better

[Sperwer]

Good luck for the contest.

I usually wake up in the night and although I don't feel particularly hunger, I find that I will get back to sleep and sleep longer if I have something. 3-5g Coconut oil or MCT oil works well for me. As I'm essentially fasting for 15-16hrs, I don't want to properly break the fast in the middle of the night, but MCT's are practically impossible to store as fat, and I'm not going to worry about such a small amount.

Thanks.

I get up every night too, but it's old man prostate pressing on my bladder.

I don't have hunger issues though, even though until now I've usually stopped eating by 7:30, except for a couple scoops of peptopro or hydrolyzed casein around 9 before sleep.

Then I usually don't eat until noon, although I get about 20 grams of carbs in my morning cuppa doc-prescribed pomegranate juice. I may have to move that until afternoon, though, to keep that fast going longer.
