Another bump on this thread.
Since starting to experiment with TRE and IF, I've also mostly stopped snacking. In the last few weeks, I've eaten lunch--often a largish lunch because I'm hungry and it's the first meal of the day--and then dinner. Once or twice I've had a snack in the late afternoon (usually some cheese), but I've realized that might be my body telling me I need to eat dinner earlier than was my habit. I've moved up dinner an hour or so and with two large meals a day, I don't really want snacks. I do still have the odd craving now and then, but if I'm not actually hungry, I don't eat.
One thing that's also helped is tracking my calories. I'm not trying to restrict, but I have a good idea of what a reasonable level is for me. If I enter all my food for lunch into my tracking program and it looks a bit low, I'll rummage for something else to round out my lunch to about half of my daily calories. Eating a solid meal like this really keeps me going until dinner, far better than a 350 calorie dry turkey sandwich.
