    for pretty much everyone, meal timing is irrelevant.

    Not true---hormones wax and wane and when you eat is important. It is a very bad idea--for many reasons, bio-chemically--to eat a lot and go to bed with a full stomach.

    Drinking tea with skim milk in it keeps me satified and under calories between meals and later at night. Also snacking on small mandarins, apples and berries is a good way to ingest fibre without feeling bloated and worrying about overeating. Listen to your body! Eat! :D

    If I only ate 300 calories for breakfast, I'd be hungry too. Wait, I'm hungry at that time, anyway... Do you have a job that doesn't allow you to eat at any other time than lunch break? Because I don't know how you can concentrate if you're so hungry you have to write a rant post about it.

    I don't go to bed until 2 a.m. I eat my lunch at about 7. guess I need to start going to bed without dinner. bummer.

    I was just talking about what is optimal. I'm sure you have seen the statistics on those who work nights in terms of obesity and diabetes. Hormones are VERY relevant to maximum fat burn and energy levels. Sorry.

    Have you ever tried Special K protein water? It's only 25 calories and as helped me get through many days! Hang in there. It will get easier!

    Calories can't but your body sure can. Circadian rhythm is just one of the rhythms of life---we can either fight those rhythms (and suffer less than optimal performance of our bodies---or worse) or harmonize with them and benefit our health.

    If you're hungry, you really should be eating more.

    Except in the evening. Ghrelin (the "hunger hormone") increases the release of human growth hormone. So it is good to be hungry after 7 p.m. as you want to get as much HGH as you can get (for LOTS of reasons). That is why you should consume most or all of your calories before 7 or 8. If you are hungry in the evening, it is good to just go to bed (unless you are so hungry you can't sleep--then a light snack is in order--100 calories of protein and fat. Peanut butter and celery are ideal.) :smile:

    This is full of wrong.

    Causation v correlation seems to escape you a lot.

    No--it is not. From the Wiki article on Ghrelin: "Ghrelin levels increase before meals and decrease after meals....Ghrelin is a potent stimulator of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland." And you were saying? (Please don't trash this based on the fact that it comes from Wikipedia--the expert who wrote the article is likely more knowledgeable than you are on the subject.)

    Insulting others does NOT increase your credibility.

    And juvenile attempts at sarcastic humor do not enhance your credibility either.

    IMHO - worry less about cals, and more about carbs.

    Eat lots of protein, you'll feel fuller.

    Dont starve yourself... it'll only make you crave fats and carbs.

    If you're hungry - eat...
