    We in America put a lot of emphasis on having a big dinner, while people in other countries tend to have their big meal earlier in the day (breakfast or lunch), that may be one of the reasons why our obesity rates are higher than other countries.

    I've decided to do try this, but with a twist. Not only am I consuming most of my calories in the morning and tapering them as the day goes on, I'm completely reversing my meals.

    That's right. I'm eating a typical "dinner" for my first morning meal and a typical "breakfast" for my evening meal. (It helps that I live alone, so no one's there to complain about it.)

    Today is day 2. I did feel like I had more energy throughout the day yesterday and fell asleep a lot quicker last night (though I'm also really tired overall AND I took cough medicine). We'll see how today goes.

    I know I can't do the whole routine EVERY day - on race days and long run days I'm NOT eating a full dinner. But I typically eat more calories on those mornings anyway - just with things like peanut butter sandwiches, etc. for energy. And I'm sure eventually (like when I get tired of getting up earlier to make "dinner-type" food first thing) I'll go back to more traditional meals, but try to keep the calories higher in the morning and lower as the day goes on.
