    Just a question :smile: so if I have a big slap up meal right before bed it won't affect weight loss? Your body and metabolism still works efficiently while you sleep? It doesn't slow down?
    The reason I ask is my hubby doesn't eat all day, and eats his dinner and snacks etc after 7pm every night and goes to bed stuffed!

    Study in rats showing that restricting feeding time protected against obesity. Rats fed the same amount of calories, some on restricted schedule, some around the clock. Those who ate around the clock became obese, those that did not eat after bedtime didn`t.

    This is more on number of meals, it doesn't seem to matter on average, but it might for the individual: http://nutritionreviews.oxfordjournals.org/content/73/2/69
