Meal timing has no significance on weight loss.2

Working two jobs I get hungry. I still have calories left. Didn't think I could use them at 10
Thankyou for the information2 -

Yup, anytime. People work all types of hours.1 -
Meal timing and meal frequency have no affect on weight loss.. If calories are equal, it doesn't matter how often or how late you eat. In the end, your body only recognizes energy, and it's not based on a clock. Essentially, your metabolism only stops when you die.1

If you stay in a calorie deficit you will lose weight. What time you eat has no effect on the science of weight loss.1

Interesting. I am not seeing any loss. Are you exercising?
Giving up certain foods?
You are really encouraging me.
Log in everything I eat and drink. Ok thanks to you next week I want to see some weight loss!0 -
Are you weighing your foods and measuring your liquid calories?2
-
No I am not doing either.
Just deducting calories0 -
Your body burns calories around the clock and weight loss happens over an extended amount of time so meal timing doesn't matter at all.
Usually if you're not seeing any loss after a couple weeks, it means you're either overestimating your calories out, or underestimating your calories in. As others have said make sure you're weighing everything and make adjustments until you start seeing progress.2 -

If you are not using a food scale how do you know how many calories are you consuming?2 -
I have been using the serving size on package.
Last night I measured out the food. I will have to invest in a food scale.0 -
Thank you so much for the suggestions
I just reread MEASURE OUT YOUR LIQUID CALORIES.
I have work to do0 -

Not exactly. I've heard that setting a cutoff time for eating can help with weight loss, which is similar.1 -

It will be the best $15-$20 you'll spend. I wouldn't have been able to know how much I was eating without it and I lost over 45 pounds by weighing everything.
Please be sure to weigh even the prepackaged food. There may be a bit of give or take on the amount in the package than what was listed on the nutrition facts given on the packaging.

Thankyou for the article full of much needed information it takes the guess work out of the equation.0

I've heard it. However, as someone who always eats before bed, and still maintaining every pound lost for 5 years now. I can tell you it simply isn't true. You're on the right track by investing in a food scale and monitoring your daily calorie intake. I like to eat before bed as I feel like I get a better nights sleep when I do.2
