I can't be the only one who eats an entire loaf of cinnamon raisin bread the moment I wake up, then isn't hungry the rest of the day

Many ADHD meds have a appetite suppression side effect, which sometimes tapers off. Sometimes not so much.
See, for me hunger is an all consuming distraction. There have been very few times I get so hyper focused I forget to eat.
Medication helps, but I still get hungry and crave chocolate.
Try smoking/vaping weed every day. Eventually you get your tolerance to the point where the anti-munchies kick in, i.e. you won't be able to eat if you don't smoke. Great for weight loss.
Unfortunately you won't be able to sleep, either, but that's why you simply partake shortly before bed and then fall asleep before you get hungry.
Lol every day. Not the best plan. Also munchies always hit when I was a daily use addict for over 15 years. Be careful with mind altering substances.
Same, never understood this side of ADHD. Meal time is the only time I don't deal with dysregulation lmao
What? But Oreo Megastuff cookies exist
I don't even have a diagnosis. I'm here just for these relateable memes.
Binge eating in the evening is awful for you. If you forget to eat frequently then switch to having a heavy breakfast so those calories are available to your body through the day.

Basically, your metabolism and caloric needs are highest in the middle of the day, eating heavy meals in the evening means a lot of that food is converted into body fats and processed while you sleep which impairs your rest. Also, instead of being available as easily accessed calories when you're active the body needs to convert that energy from fats which generally causes more sluggishness and lower activity during the day. It's a good idea to eat before (but not right before) you're active.
Summary
When meals are eaten, in relation to the time of day, is increasingly considered of importance when implementing dietary change in order to address the growing burden of obesity, although further research is required in order to determine optimal patterns.
That study is more focused on weight gain and not really about the effect on sleep. Sleep is mentioned, but in reference as a co-contributer.
I've done OMAD (eat at night) for close to 15 years and have always been on the lower end of my BMI ratio and other than walking between buildings at work, no real exercise. To gain any weight, I would have to eat 4,500-5,000kcal/day. My sleep has also always been the same throughout my life regardless of eating style. (it may have even improved with my eating style)

One Meal to rule them all, One Meal to find them, One Meal to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
I'm too food motivated for this
Being food motivated is exactly why I do this sometimes... Everything tastes better when you're hungry, and you can eat more of it
I only do it because I grew up poor and was forced to eat everything put on my plate, because to waste it was basically a sin greater than murder. As you can imagine, that's a trait that doesn't work well as an adult, and it's incredibly hard to break.
My mother is like that. She's not fat but will compulsively eat because of it even if she's full. My grandparents beat that into her and you can see the trauma. :/
For breakfast I can get a whole socially acceptable meal by pouring milk over cereal, and then I can wash up by running it under a tap. I’m not missing an opportunity like that.
Let me tell you about breakfast shakes...
Let me tell you about breakfast shake shits.
I have not experienced those but they do not sound fun.

Yeah, that is not how I roll: All day graze with possible actual meals, possibly even at normal times that people eat!
That's just the Caveman Diet. I'm neither autistic nor have ADHD and that's been my food method for decades. No breakfast, sandwich at lunch, banquet in the evening.
I didn't know cavemen had milled grains.
There are only two qualifications for being a Cave Man, and level of technological advancement is not among them.

I would love to go back to that and be a healthy weight again, but being forced to eat at scheduled times due to pressure from family and social scheduling means I end up eating too much over the course of the day even if I'm not hungry.
Hope you'll eventually be able to stop caring about pressure from family and social scheduling. I wish you well.

That's called OMAD! Just tell people you're doing Intermittent Fasting (of which OMAD is a specific way to do it).
Intermittent FEASTING
Over the last few weeks I switched from the one meal to all day grazing Edit: I like the one meal a lot better
I'm in this photo and I don't like it.
