Which is better? Is it depending on when you're consuming the most energy?
There is a [LPT right now](https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/105jy83/lpt_do_not_deprive_yourself_of_food_for_the_sake) about the importance of lunch and not working through lunch.

Hey guys! Like most people, I find late hours to be the most delicious. But is it just a habit? Is it possible to get rid of it? That is, would my organism adapt and stop craving food?
