"Finally made a large 4-egg omelet with some leftover pork shoulder roast, bacon, lots of onion and green pepper and lots of Colby jack cheese. Now I feel like I’ve had a monster meal right in the middle of the day and I don’t even know if I should eat again today"

That is a great meal. Don't eat till you get hungry again.

During the transition of being carb/glucose dependent to fat adapted, don't worry too much about how much you are eating. Focus on not eating starchy carbs and highly processes foods and sugars. Your body has to get used to the new diet.

For me skipping breakfast is the easiest. For some skipping supper is easiest (and the most healthy, but messes up family meals so is kind of hard with children). At this point in your journey I would not even worry about skipping a meal. Eat three meals (we did when we started out). We only switched to two meals a day when we realized if we had a good supper, we did not get hungry till some time between noon and 2:30 pm. It is not unusual for us to eat our first meal of the day at 2pm.

Convenience stores are diet killers. Keep a small cooler in your pickup with meat sticks, cheese sticks, cucumber slices, radishes, (in sandwich bags), pork rinds, etc.

Get fat adapted for a few weeks. THEN worry about closing down the feeding time window and skipping snacks AFTER your body has adapted and when you no longer feel the hunger need to eat all the time.
