If you have to choose between getting enough calories and eating the right foods, which one would an informed peatarian choose? Thanks.

And worse for me I became quite good at ignoring hunger in my twenties and now am paying the price for it. I am trying to build a work life that allows me more control over when and what I eat, but it's tricky. I used to be able to count on finding soda (or at least milk and sugar) wherever I went, but not so much anymore. Everything is diet soda these days. Yuck.

From a personal perspective I think fasting is a useful tool.
This study highlights increased neuronal autophagy expressed from short-term fasting. Andrew Kim has argued against increasing autophagy by arguing that healthy cells perform "sufficient" autophagy, but I do not understand how it would not be beneficial to cause some short term upregulation.

Subjectively, I feel great benefit and very little downside from short term fasting (12-14 hours). I don't see how this would necessarily activate the stress hormones if liver glycogen storage is sufficient (eating a lot of sugar when not fasting) and the fast is not prolonged.
A good way to do this is to wake up from your 7-8 hours of sleep, and just skip breakfast. I'll have a cup of black coffee, and I pay attention to my mood. If I feel I'm falling into a stress state, I'll immediately break the fast with some OJ or milk with sugar. I have been able to effectively control weight fluctuations with this strategy.

I mean, compared to how I used to feel while fasting.
