I noticed that even if I have a low calorie desert as my last meal before the fast, my cravings during the fast are terrible and harder to handle. Probably because sugar receptors are triggered, right before the fasting starts.

This might be too sweet for your purposes, but the last thing I eat almost every day is \~133g of nonfat Greek yogurt and 34g of casein protein powder. Mix it with a little water into sort of a pudding/frosting consistency - can even thicken and set up a little more in the fridge. Sometimes I’ll have it with dinner, but usually a little later right before I start my fasting time.
It’s about 40g of slow digesting protein in about 200 calories. But it’s versatile to adjust as needed. If I’m under protein for the day I can bulk it up, under fats I can mix in some nut butter, top with frozen fruit, eat it on rice cakes if I’m under calories, etc.
Works really well for me and my goals.
Dave’s Amazing Bread with peanut butter. Two slices provide lots of fiber to keep you full and a little fat from the peanut or almond. butter. I know some people don’t eat bread, but fiber does keep you full if you can get it in by some other means.
