Just to make sure I understand...

Sunday: coffee Monday: coffee Tuesday: snack and dinner Wednesday: coffee Thursday: snack and dinner Friday: three full meals Saturday: three full meals

Are you able to focus by Tuesday? I feel like I would struggle to be productive.

You get used to it after a while. The hardest part I found was social pressure to eat. So much of our culture revolves around eating that it's hard to do IF with any schedule where you leave out dinner time.

So skipping breakfast is super easy (IMHO) and skipping dinner is nigh impossible.

Skipping lunch highly depends on how pressured you feel to eat with your colleagues. I think one meal a day (usually named OMAD) is also not hard if you don't have lunch at work.

Monday coffee (or tea, mostly tea), Tuesday snack and dinner, Wednesday cofee, Thursday snack and dinner, Friday just dinner, Saturday three meals (or more or less) and Sunday three meals (or more or less).

I'm able to focus any day. Some months I do 1 week when I fast Monday, Tuesday and I eat dinner on Wednesday; body reboot.

I began to fast gradually and this is what I consider my optimal IF method.
