Actually, that's the entire point of intermittent fasting... So long as you have about a 16- to 18-hour gap, your body can begin autophagy and ketosis, transferring from carbohydrates to fats as a fuel source. So, last meal at 1700, breakfast at 1100, and yes it will help burn fat (you will still need a calorie deficit, but a long gap between eating helps use fat stores faster by transferring almost all energy production to fat burning).
Honestly its been great. Ive already lost 40 pounds since starting. Its crazy what cutting out snacking after dinner can do. And you know, not eating chicken wings every week.

You call it "intermittent fasting"
I call it "missing breakfast and lunch and having a breakdown"
We are not the same
Internittent Fasting is when you have breakfast eleven times!? When does the fast happen?
You gotta be fast if you want to have 11 breakfasts before your 11 lunchies
I call it fourth breakfast myself.
What are Elevenses?
Edit: I'm American btw.
So it's like a late morning snack and tea or coffee?
Yeah, a light meal taken at 11am, usually including a hot beverage and a bakery product
Delaying one meal is not intermittent fasting.

Depends on how long the delay is lol
