There is some growing evidence that the body’s metabolism is different during the day when the body is active, than during the evening when it’s preparing to shut down.
In What Science Says About Snacking and Breakfast (Jan. 30, 2017), Alice Park reports findings by a panel led by Marie-Pierre St-Onge, associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University. “The body and all of the organs have clocks. There is a timing that provide all the nutrients that organs need, and the timing activity of enzymes and other agents that process food are better earlier in the day than at night.”
While research is not totally clear yet, it makes sense that eating the bulk of your calories early in the day might allow you to burn them off more easily.
If you are not a healthy breakfast eater already, you might give it a try. Eat a well-balanced meal early in the day and then lighter fare for dinner.
As with most things in life, what is most important is that you pay attention and notice what is true for you.
