[quote=Anonymous]My window varies, but typically it's 12-8.  For some reason I really don't get hungry in the mornings though, so I find it more natural to do 2-10pm, but I also know it's not a great idea to eat before bed. 
My typical day:

7am - 12pm 
coffee w/cream (technically this breaks the fast, but I only use a tiny bit)
lot of herbal teas
chicken broth if I'm hungry

12pm - 2pm 
leftovers for lunch: usually a bunch of arugula w/olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt plus something yummy like pan seared salmon, roast chicken or steamed shrimp. I tend to buy pre-cooked meals from the grocery store for ease.

2-4 - is my hardest time
some kind of snacks that is low in carbs.  I don't like the processed fake snacks, so I tend to stick with the following:
cheese sticks
macadamia nuts
olives
protein shake w/greens and almond butter
full fat greek yogurt w/berries

5-8
dinner is usually similar to lunch, although I add an extra veggie. 
salad + protein + roasted vegetable

Other dinners include: 
rotisserie chicken
hearty soups like chicken tortilla
frittata or crustless quiche w/veggies
ground meat w/spaghetti sauce over spaghetti squash
sashimi & miso soup
grilled flank steak 
Tonight I'm doing a low carb version of stuffed green peppers w/turkey, and I plan on making 10 so I can freeze a bunch.

I'm not a huge fan of cooking, so I go for easy and quick, or something I can double and freeze.

Dessert: 
dark chocolate,
ricotta w/good cocoa powder + a bit of fake sweetener mixed in (kinda gross) 
whipped cream and berries

I love a glass of wine in the evenings and used to have 1-2 after dinner.  I cut that out, and only occasionally have a glass now with dinner.  I drink red wine because that's supposed to be the lowest in sugar (1gram per 5 oz.) although champagne is lower at .5grams per 5 oz.

[b]Would love more ideas for dinner or dessert if anyone has some![/b][/quote]
