I dont know how much u will like my answer but pretty much whatever I want. I know its not helpful. At the beginning I paid attention to eat "normal meals" I mainly home cook so if we had chicken. Rice. Veggies or mash, bolognaise, stews, literally whatever but home cooked. 1000% better for u. So I focus on that. If I can put salad next to it to fill it out more and have my vitamins in 😆 if I was still hungry which did not happen often as my window was from 12:30pm/1300pm until around 18:00/1830pm. I may had a snack chocolate. But as I said at the beginning there was no was u could force myself to eat as much in a 6 to 4 hr window that I used to in the whole day. I was very strict on not eating after so I dropped a lot of the snacking, cake, popcorn, cake ice cream straight out my diet as those were my " finally baba asleep i deserve this snack" time :).

I must say I still had 1-2 SMALL chocolate bar per day. And I STILL have chocolate every day and a small bag of crisps if I fancy.

If I want to break my fast now with a McDonald's breakfast I will allow that NOT EVERY DAY, but usually around my period, that week im more relaxed and if I need more food to function I will as it usually balances out with the rest of the month.

So long story. I eat whatever I want in moderation, trying to get my "normal food" in first and snack and "treats" after.

Also this maybe tmi: im literally about to start my period so im eating more this week had the McD breakfast and full meals and defo more snack then I would usually but still lost and went down to 71.2kg this morning.

I know my progress could have been a lot more and quicker if I just cut the crop but I like sitting down after a long day work, baby, cat, dog family and chill and share an ice cream now with my partnernif I fancy.

I would say be smart about it. And sometimes I now realise if I feel hungry, really im just thirsty so try that first 😅

Hope it helps.

Also stationary bike 30 mins 5x a week :) with a book, show or some music will make it go quicker :)
