I've done some interment fasting and found that it helps with low blood sugar and hangry periods but I'd suggest starting with something lower than 16 hours (say 12-13) until you get used to it. Also, it sounds silly but if you get really hungry in the morning then eat. Don't try and tough it out and hold on for an arbitrary time window. That'll come after a while!
Also in my experience running is easy fasted but not so much cycling. I think it's because cycling pushes me to a glycolytic/sugar burning state quicker and you generally have less glycogen to burn when fasted.
