The only exceptions are meals I eat for social reasons (e.g., work lunch meetings) and mornings on which I run a road race and want to ensure I'm at peak performance. I find that when I do break the fast, I'm more hungry sooner.

There are days where if I push dinner until too late, I do find myself weak and grumpy.
All of this is probably limited to light resistance/endurance training. This sort of goes out the window while lifting weights, at least for me. Then its very hard for me not to eat a ton. I think the fascination with protein is totally misguided though. Some people think they need 200g/day when probably 30g is sufficient.
One thing I really embraced in college was ketosis. I hardly ate, aside from a few well earned feasts. But its extremely hard to maintain if you don't have the freedom to work out multiple times a day and carbs are a convenient and cheap source of calories.
if i know beforehand there's work lunch i usually ends the "eating window" earlier the night before so i can reach the goal!
