As a system, our bodies are more active in the morning than they are in the evening, which most people can identify with, so this shouldn't be surprising. It's not clear if, by skipping breakfast and decreasing caloric intake, but thereby delaying the feeding window, a beneficial effect for some individuals exists. Most of the data points in the opposite direction, but maybe, for the extremely metabolically fit individual who shovels glucose into cells like a snowplow, it's less problematic? I'm just positing, but we don't have good evidence for that. What we do have evidence for is that those who engage in IF but do it with a delayed eating schedule generally have worse health outcomes.

[1] "Late eating decreased glucose tolerance, resting energy expenditure, and carbohydrate oxidation as compared to early eating. Besides, the cortisol profile was blunted for late eating as compared to early eating, similarly to that found under acute stress situations [11]. Eating late also affected the daily rhythms of peripheral temperature, towards a similar pattern to that found in overweight/obesity women which was related to metabolic alterations"

"Dietary patterns that feature meal timing outside of the regular daytime hours can contribute to circadian disruption as food is metabolised in opposition to internal daily rhythms and can feedback on the timekeeping mechanisms setting these rhythms. Epidemiological evidence examining the impact of late meal timing patterns is beginning to suggest that eating at night increases the risk of weight gain over time"

There are many.. so I encourage you to look into it yourself.
