This is kind of why I prefer 5:2 type fasting. I find it easy to stick to the low/no calorie days and found I never over compensated on the subsequent days.
One previous routine had me eating breakfast Wednesday morning, skipping lunch and evening meals, then no breakfast Thursday morning, run 10km into work and then resuming food at lunchtime on Thursday.
(That routine worked well but it was pre-pandemic and when I worked in an office two days a week. Things are different with WFH and skipping evening meals doesn't sit well with family life. Wednesdays worked before as I'd feed my daughter before her swimming lesson and my wife would usually be out so none of us ate together anyway.)
