After watching a Dr. Boz video on Circadian Rhythm (below), I begin to wonder if I have been making a tactical mistake by pushing my OMAD later into the afternoon or evening.
My thinking on this was (first) that since I am often tempted by midnight snacks, having my meal later would allow me to feel satisfied until bedtime and reduce temptation. That may be wrongheaded. My temptation has rarely occurred while I am actually hungry, but rather in spite of satiation. If I was already moderately fasted when I went to bed, I might not find myself wandering around the darkened kitchen thinking about a piece of cheese or something.
I actually used to do a regular post about Midnight Snack, on 'other' social media. People would write in about what they were making late at night and it was a whole thing. I love midnight snacks...
Second, the early afternoon, 2-3:PM or so, is when my so-called-social-life happens. I go down to the lobby and chat with the ladies, with the excuse that I am going to sit on the front patio and smoke my pipe and get some vitamin D from the sun. Sometimes I actually do that. But since I am not fully functioning until 10-11:AM, and so-called-social-life is 2-3 :PM, that leaves 5-6:00 for OMAD.
Except if I was moderately fasted, I might get to sleep when I went to bed and so I might be more fully functional in the morning and I could have my OMAD at Noonish.
The question is would I still be tempted in the evening if I did that. One way to find out.
