How many hrs have you been without food when you eat breakfast?

I was listening to a podcast and heard that you should have gone 12 hrs at least ideally between eating the evening before and breakfast.
I know lots of people do intermittent fasting as well, so they might be going for longer.
I wanted breakfast this morning and realised I’d only gone 8 hrs (summer holiday mode)
Just nosey and interested in what others do.

I don't have an evening meal at the moment, so I go from Lunch to the next day, I am often awake in the early hours though so breakfast can be 4.00am.

10-11 hours. At home, DH and I often postpone our pudding until a couple of hours after the rest of our dinner. Longer when we're on hotel rations and have a big breakfast and early dinner and not much else. A great deal shorter when we stay with Spanish friends and adopt their meal pattern.

6pm to 10am.

Depends on the day. Sometimes 6 sometimes 16.
