I agree that amount of continuous fasting hours (low insulin period) is more important than any eating "window". I tend to eat noonish rather than the stereotypical supertime in evening. With a tendency of one meal a day. Don't forget the Good fat including eggs, yolks especially, for sticktoittiveness. Plenty of good fat and protein means you don't count calories, as grains as a carb are especially harmful.
