Research indicates that eating earlier in the day to align meals with the body’s circadian rhythms in metabolism offers health benefits. The focus would be to eat a large meal during those daytime hours. Many experts suggest that people have their largest meal in the morning, whether that’s a large or medium-sized breakfast or a big lunch.
A recent study found that having the largest meal at lunch protected against obesity whereas having it at dinner increased the risk for obesity and led to higher body mass index. Consuming the majority of calories in meals earlier in the day may have metabolic health benefits, as well. The usual advice is to eat if you’re hungry; don’t force yourself to eat if you’re not hungry.
