I restrict myself to a 4 hour eating window, and vary that window daily based on what's convenient to me. So some days I'll go 24 hours between windows if that's how things line up.

There are a bunch of advantages for me. I have 3 kids and I always start my window after 10am. Without the restriction I'll end up finishing off their breakfasts and snacking when I'm making their school lunches. Or late at night it's easy to resist the temptation of hot milk and cookies as it's outside of the window.

By myself I'm actually a pretty disciplined eater, but with kids and a partner who is a chronic feeder I need the window as a barrier against lazy eating.
