I think that's an interesting observation. I often feel this is why different fasting rhythms can affect us so much. I disliked ADF/DODO because of the relentless pressure of the pattern and was relieved to switch to 4:3 with predictable days (and have stayed in this pattern since 2011). And, I can see why you need your breakfast (or, at least, prefer it) with ADF.
You're wise to recognise the warning signs of a feeling of deprivation and manage it with breakfast and other plans. One of the Spinardi phrases that occurs to me often is something like, "The extent of a rebound is governed by the sense of deprivation and restriction in the period that led up to it".
Apples

I had tomatoes on bread for breakfast again. Probably about 100 calories: bread, 29gm, 65 calories, 100 gm of tomatoes - 30 calories plus a smidgen of oil and a sprinkling of salt, pepper and sugar. I can do without breakfast if I'm doing 5:2 but not every other day. It just makes me feel so depressed.
Today I am going to beat the hunger by eating apples. They are lovely and crunchy. We have 2 different un-named ones from Kate and Kylie's tree, plus Bramleys, Spartans, Granny Smiths and Golden Delicious from our tree. I've been cooking the Bramleys and eating the Spartans fresh and I do like them.
Tonight's dinner will be skinless chicken thigh. 105 calories for 100gm but I'm not sure what one thigh weighs. I'll cook them up with a vegetable mix of onion, tomato, zucchini, carrot and beans. Or another idea would be a salad: chicken, cos lettuce, cucumber, fresh tomato, beans, a few croutons?
I have to bite the bullet today and clean up the yellow room. I also have to sort out my stalled knitting project. It's time to get on top of all those jobs which are weighing on my mind and making me feel stuck. Procrastinating isn't working. I know those jobs need to be addressed. Yes, they are challenging. No, I don't want to do them. But they won't go away. The builder is coming today to look at the renovations we want to do in the yellow room and I will feel embarrassed if it's like it is now. And if I don't do something about that knitting job, the child will be too big for it. I think that's what I am afraid of already. But putting it off isn't helping.
