I'm not sure I'm on the bang wagon like some people but there are two beneficial use cases in my opinion.
During bulking to stimulate appetite. Anyone who has a hard time getting in enough quality calories can probably speak to lack of appetite during bulking. When I have issues getting the calories in a use a short term IF to back load all my calories until after 1-2pm. Starting my day at 6am, I'm literally dying to eat at this point. I keep calories the same but instead of 6am to 10pm it's 2pm to 10pm. I believe building the hunger signals kick starts the metabolism and after a couple weeks I add in another meal at 7-8am and just like that I'm up 500+ calories breaking through a wall.
During contest prep towards the end when portions are low instead of following 5-6 meals a day I like to go down to 3-4 bigger meals. Pushing my first meal to 12pm helps with this. You're hungry regardless but you'll end up more satisfied condensing two meals into one.
