  "rationale": "Withholding meal timing is a threat signal (possible scarcity), which the framework prices heavily (PM-0585, PM-0845), and desire grows as a deficiency gap while unfed (PM-0321), predicting more eating under uncertainty. But the manipulation is mild: fasted healthy women in a safe lab where food reliably arrives, so the threat writes shallow (PM-0110) and bodily hunger after an overnight fast dominates both visits (PM-0113). The effect may show on self-reported stress or craving rather than grams eaten (PM-0289, PM-1278). With n about 45 crossover, 28 primary outcomes and high buffet variance, a small positive d is likely but significance is uncertain."
