Do you eat your heavier meals early or late
Replies

Early usually, often around 400-500 calories to start off then I'll stagger the rest through the day as snacks or light meals since I'm busy with my art and writing.0

My dinner is usually the biggest but that's because I probably didn't eat enough during the day.0

Typically dinner is my biggest.0

I probably eat 65% of my calories between 4:00 and 7:00 PM with dinner and dessert. I usually eat a lighter high protein breakfast and then a small snack mid-day. However, most of my eating is done in 8 hours a day.0

There's usually not a huge difference, but typically a little more later.0

My largest meal is always dinner in the evenings. It doesn't matter when you eat your food, don't let anyone tell you different. I fell for the "eat your biggest meal at lunch or breakfast" crap for many years. It made no difference whatsoever. You'll always weigh less after fasting (and using the bathroom obviously) (like after sleeping/mornings before you eat) and always weigh more after you eat. Timing of meals really doesn't matter unless you're doing specific training and even then it is suspect that it still doesn't matter because you can't instantly digest food. Your body runs on the food and energy it stored by digesting food hours or a day prior.2

Dinner. A lot of times I ride (horses) after work, so am most hungry when I get home.0

I can't eat heavy meals at all due to digestive issues. Instead, I eat small meals every 2 hours or so.0
