How quickly you learn something depends on how much you’ve eaten recently. You learn most quickly immediately after ending a long fast. Your brain thinks you just learned something that saved it from starvation. (But note that a 1-day fast for a fruit fly could be compared to a human fasting for months.)
Wouldn’t you want to learn the thing right before breaking your fast?
The experimental time resolution isn’t that high. They’re comparing things learned “when” breaking the fast vs. things learned 4 or 6 hours earlier or later.
