started the first one
a tl;dr version would be primo.
Our body works based on a circadian clock and when we eat will affect our body differently.
Also part of the conclusion from the second article about the benefits of fasting.

Based on the existing evidence from animal and human studies described, we conclude that there is great potential for lifestyles that incorporate periodic fasting during adult life to promote optimal health and reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, particularly for those who are overweight and sedentary. Animal studies have documented robust and replicable effects of fasting on health indicators including greater insulin sensitivity, and reduced levels of blood pressure, body fat, IGF-I, insulin, glucose, atherogenic lipids and inflammation.Fasting regimens can ameliorate disease processes and improve functional outcome in animal models of disorders that include myocardial infarction, diabetes, stroke, AD and PD.One general mechanism of action of fasting is that it triggers adaptive cellular stress responses, which result in an enhanced ability to cope with more severe stress and counteract disease processes. In addition, by protecting cells from DNA damage,suppressing cell growth and enhancing apoptosis of damaged cells, fasting could retard and/or prevent the formation and growth of cancers.

What nobody mentions is that eating large meals late at night and then going to sleep over time can start to stretch out the musculature of your esophageal sphincter and lead to heart burn and gerd
The reality is that the whole macho mindset used around here is kind of moronic. Yeah it gets the point across that you don't need to just eat chicken and rice, you can eat carbs after 8, and all of that, but it really isn't the optimal route for everything.
