Fairly normal day:

Take off at 0700, report at 0600, leave house at 0530, breakfast (if you can face it that time if the morning) about 0515-ish?

land at 1000, rotors running turnround, off 1045–ish, to land again at about 1330/1345-ish.

Without eating anything at all since 0515.

I would consider it “very bad airmanship” to not eat something during that period.
