I don't eat anything substantial 2 hours prior. I always eat at least something, if not a full meal, in the recovery window, usually within an hour after I top up fluids. If I ride during my fasting window, I don't eat.

I usually fast from 10pm to noon the next day, or somewhere in that window, for a total of 12-16 hours each day. I usually ride to work, which is between 7-20 miles depending on my route, and I still don't eat until noon. I only consume water and black coffee. Then I usually have a light meal of mostly fruit and mixed nuts or cottage cheese or eggs or some lighter protein. Then a midday ride or run, then my first substantial food around 2 or 3. Commute home followed by a real dinner of whatever, usually reasonably well balanced, but definitely a much larger meal than the rest of the day. Then dessert/evening snacks or beer until I stop somewhere between 8pm and midnight, but usually around 9-10, at which point I fast until noon the next day.

I like this method because it allows me to digest fully and I feel it makes me more regular. Also, I feel much lighter and snappier, and I find when I'm not full my mind is sharper and I train more effectively and never feel sluggish. I also enjoy cooking and eating large/rich meals, and this plan allows me to basically eat a full and balanced but unrestricted meal in the evening because I have not consumed those calories during the day.

I'm not super strict about it however, and I think that it's important to listen to your body. If I'm dying before a planned long ride, I eat a little something. If I'm not hungry, I don't. It does take time and practice to develop this flexibility and discipline. I used to over eat a lot. Now I only do it sometimes, and I can recognize myself doing it, which is more than half the battle.
