    If I were to eat a big lunch I wouldn't be able to go back to work. I work outside running a weed eater or chainsaw (other equipment). Big lunch and working in heat don't mix. Do what works for you but please don't think meal timming means anything. I mean you can argue with science but I have a feeling you will lose.

    Dinner shouldn’t be eaten after 7 p.m. because your body’s digestion gets weaker at night and cannot process food as well; undigested food is turned into toxins and often stored in your fat cells.

    lolwut?

    You've got to stop listening to Dr. Oz -

    Hmm, glad it works for you. I eat 66% - 75% of my daily calories between 7pm & 9pm. With 50% coming in after 8pm. Meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss.

    I wonder what toxin "undigested" pop tarts turn into.

    I've tried this and would LOVE to do it, but I always get really hungry at night (even when I eat a HUGE lunch) so this just makes me go way over on calories! If you have any tips for that, please message me!!

    And that brushing your skin with a $20 oven mitt would release the toxins.

    Um... what the heck?

    bump- worth a shot

    I bumped this before realizing that everyone was hating on it. Although I don't necessarily agree with the specifics, at least for me I've noticed a few things.
    1) Eating later at night- I don't digest everything that night, therefore the scale in the morning is heavier (generally because I haven't gone poop!)
    2) Doing something like this may just be a filling affect.

    As far as what to eat, I generally ignore all of that anyway.

    Timing of your meals doesn't affect your weight loss.
    Timing doesn't matter.
    Meal timing is about personal preference.
    meal timing and size of any particular meal is completely irrelevant.
    For weight loss meal timing is irrelevant
    Meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss.

    Haha, what's this obsession with weight loss?

    This nonsense was on Doctor Oz... Straight nonsense. This lady was saying fat storage was a digestive problem. I said yea, you're digesting too much GD food! If you lose weight doing this, it's because it made you feel full better and you ate less calories somewhere else. Some people don't want to or even need to eat breakfast. The metabolism actually might go up over night when you sleep, according to some studies. But it doesn't matter. The cycle of storing or burning energy, i.e. staying alive, has very little to do with sleep or what time of day you eat., and why would it? Your body could care less how far the earth has spun, it just wants to live. 2013 and we're still on this 1990's shhhhhhhh. Please feel free to add me and/or read my statuses...anyone. The only reason to worry about time of day of eating is digestive issues/problems with people who might have reflux or problems laying down on a full stomach, thus making eating at night or before bed an issue. Other than that, the body could care less about what time of day you eat and you should eat when you can feel the most comfortable and when it's most repeatable. This can help train important hormones like Grehlin which helps influence hunger. I have a client who used to swear she couldn't make it to noon without eating. Now she goes til 1 or 2. Freeing up her ability to eat more later and have dessert later before bed.

    Lets try this: You're heavier in the morning because you added mass into your body the night before! Am I missing something here? Otherwise you're bypassing the general laws of thermodynamics. I mean I know we're not a closed system but for the most part we are until we excrete waste. Plus the average scale is affected by temperature drops that might occur over night. Just another reason to pretty much ignore the scale.

    I eat my biggest meal at dinner time. The majority of my calories seem to be listed under snacks. I must be doing something right though....

    eat wit in your calories, most of the time, and eat when you are hungry. Just saying....

    For those of us working nights, my "lunch" was at 1 AM. Actually I stopped naming my meals, it's easier that way. I'll go home at 7, eat a small meal - whatever I may call it, go to bed, wake up at 4 PM and eat another nameless meal. But the weight still comes off.

    Stop with the junk-science already! Unless I see a medical journal with peer-reviewed studies that prove this hypothesis, this is all I have to say about this post....
