This is literally one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this forum.
The next time you start off with ridiculous I won't bother responding. I'll just let you wallow in your ignorance. If you don't understand something ask for clarification. Also, not every diet or training method works well or is feasible for everyone, and every goal. One more thing, save the hyperbole for the foo forum. Its wasted here.
Anyhow, you're whole premise about increasing performance through fasting is wrong. There is no data that supports it, and frankly no top athletes have ever done it because it doesn't work. You might lose weight, but that doesn't mean much. Ride more and eat smarter if you want to lose fat weight. Everything you've written sounds straight from the vegan and/or cross fit evangelist handbook. Not to mention focusing on BF% is a very poor idea, and whatever method you are using to estimate it is probably wrong.
First, its not my premise its a compilation of researched data. And second, I don't advocate cycling (nor any form of exercise) to lose weight. I never have.

I was never one to eat much first thing in the morning and over time I lost interest in lunch. Some days I'll have a scone or a doughnut if I encounter such snacks, other days I'll eat nothing until 8 pm or so.
At this point I don't particularly like it; and I can't say I would advocate it. However, the body does get used to any system, so its important to stay ahead of that to continue to make progress. OMAD is just
one of many methods to keep it off balance.
