Eating at night and fat loss

A big healthy breakfast

“Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper.” This maxim is usually attributed to nutrition writer Adelle Davis, and since her passing in 1974, the advice to eat less at night to help with fat loss has lived on and continued to circulate.

This includes suggestions such as:

Don’t eat a lot before bedtime

Don’t eat midnight snacks

Don’t eat anything after 7 pm

Don’t eat any carbs at night

Don’t eat any carbs after 3 pm.
