Does it matter when you eat your food?

No, meal timing has no relevance to weight loss.

I know a lot of people swear that the time of day matters but I don't logically see why. I think you have a better chance of burning off the consumed calories if they are eaten earlier in the day. Personally, if I eat in the morning, I tend to be hungry all day long and I tend to eat more calories. I know a few people like this.

Your body is always burning calories, whether you are asleep or awake. That is what a person BMR is, the calories they burn doing nothing at all. Those calories are simply needed to keep your heart pumping, lungs breathing, brain functioning, and all the other functions that keep a person alive. For a sedentary person that amount (BMR) is 80% of the calories they burn in a day. Hence, the whole, you have a better chance burning it off, is simply an incorrect way of thinking. If you are in a calorie deficit, you are burning fat off no matter when you eat your calories.

The only part of when you eat, in terms of weight loss, that is important, is what will keep you on the plan. If eating more in the morning helps with compliance to your goals long term, eat more in the morning. If eating more in the evening does, eat more then. If 2 meals a day works best for you or 6 do that. There is not a right timing in terms of weight loss assuming calories are the same, the weight loss will be the same over time.

It doesn't matter. Enjoy your late night snacking!

I have heard that it is better to have a larger breakfast but I have not heard good reasons as to why. What you might want to avoid is having a large meal & then going to bed soon after; give your body time to digest your meal. However, I don't think that it matters too much. I try to listen to what my body wants and eat accordingly, regardless of time of day.
