To get this thread back on topic some, I wanted to add my experience after 1 week on Ozempic.
The 'food noise' that several have referenced is real and for me this medication eliminated that within 24hrs. I took my first dose last Wednesday, and on Thursday (and several days since) I had to make myself eat more than I wanted just to keep from being in too steep of a caloric deficit.
So I really want to insist that anyone that decides to go this route absolutely track their calories/protein. Over the last week I've averaged 2300 calories and 208g protein per day. I've still lost an average of 0.83#/day (5.8# total).
I don't have the expertise to point out the mechanics as to why the OP's example of not eating all day until a yogurt at 2PM is a horrible plan. With my workout schedule, if I'm losing almost a pound a day at 2300 calories, I can't fathom how much muscle loss and extra skin I'd have with losing at an even faster rate.

intermitting fasting is a fine strategy to control calories, thats really the only benefit to it. problem comes in with those like the OP who look up and its 6pm and they are only at 30g protein for the day and only 250calories.
at that point they should, if they are tracking like you are(bravo btw for doing it the right way) then they should immediately starting getting protein and calories in as to hit the macro goals. we do not want to lose more than about 2lbs a week. first couple weeks its fine, after that we want to make sure we are eating enough to keep it to 2# per week. thats 100+ pounds a year and plenty fast enough. any more and you can run into issues.
if that means having to back off the medicine to eat more calories and protein, so be it.
