This lets me cruise into bedtime with an empty stomach, which is good for sleeping, and gives me maximum fasting/healing time.

I'm very similar in that I've been eating two meals a day for several years now with my first solid food around mid day and my final meal finished NLT 6pm ideally. I definitely feel the benefit, do not get food cravings, and I like to keep it simple with ample healthy protein and some small servings of low carb veggies, occasional servings of blueberries or raspberries. This eating practice has certainly enabled me to manage my blood sugar and keeps it very low. The only adjustment I am making after learning from Marty Kendall's data driven fasting (DDF) method is to move my first meal and last meal slightly earlier in the day to get better results. I haven't done this consistently enough to determine the actual benefit, but it's this fine-tuning that helps to make it all work.
