I’m in the same position. Need to eat dinner in the evenings for family reasons. Social elements of food are significant.

  > Social elements of food are significant. But easily changeable. Nothing stops you from sitting at the table and having a good conversation, all while eating an apple or two and a glass of water.

    Eating an apple would ruin a fast, and there’s also a risk of giving your kids eating issues because they don’t realize that your nutritional needs are different from theirs.

    Nobody wants to eat a meal prepared hours ago and reheated. Beyond that, most people feel really uncomfortable being watched by a non-eater while they are eating; if you eat at a different time than your family at least let them eat in peace.
