I'd be cautious if you're doing TRF by skipping breakfast.

>Interestingly, TRF improved weight loss and cardiometabolic endpoints—such as insulin levels, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure—when participants ate early or in the middle of the day [18,19,41,42,43,44,45], but worsened cardiometabolic health or had null effects when participants ate late in the day [46,47,48].

IIRC subsequent studies have found that digestion interferes with sleep quality, which negates the benefits of TRF.



My largest meal of the day has naturally become lunch. My dinner is typically a few hours before bed. So, maybe I'm not bumping into what the study above found. I sleep fine.

Since I started TRF ~2 years ago I have dropped BF, and am the leanest I have ever been. I've always been very active and tend to exercise every day, but have never been this 'cut'. I also tended to eat ok naturally. I'm not a sweets person, and when I cleaned up my diet a few years back the main thing I dropped was potato chips (I love that crunchy, salty goodness). But even after cleaning up my diet I still wasn't getting the BF % I was interested so thought I'd give TFR a try. It's been awesome. I have more energy, and am in the best shape of my life.
