I've always wondered if the time you eat effects your weight loss. What I mean is should I load callories in the am lunch or dinner and add a few light snacks in when needed or should I balance my callories between the three equally

    I am just starting out but am trying this...

    Breakfast -7:30a (400 calories or less)

    Early snack-10a (300 or less)

    Lunch-12n (400 0r less)

    Late snack-3p (300 or less)

    Dinner-6:30p (600 or less)

    Now this doesn't work every day but my snacks are protein bars or a shake, something I can eat/drink while at work. I am also trying to consume less pasta/bread, but that is very tough.

    That's about what I've been doing as well. I've heard people say that you should load up in the AM and eat lighter through out the day for better results but I wasn't sure
