Thanks for your thoughts on the best time of day to eat, Alozano! Interesting.

I never eat after 6:30 pm if I can help it. I like waking up hungry for breakfast

Actually, regardless of whether you are skinny or not this method not only helps in reducing body fat but also reduces your chances later on in life of developing many types of stomach ulcers or worst.. Cancer. This method allows your food to be process quickly as what its meant to be.. fuel for your body and not left to rot in your intestinal system.

Hi Paramjit,

Thanks for your comment! I think eating at set times helps you avoid the emotional eating that often leads to weight gain. I try not to eat after 6 pm because I like waking up hungry. And, I sleep better when my tummy isn’t full.

The best time of day to eat may be different from person to person, though. My husband can’t sleep on an empty stomach (but then again he doesn’t need to lose weight, so he can afford to eat late at night).

You have placed some sound arguments on food timing. Eating too close to bed time spikes insulin and does cause excess calories to be stored as fat. It also makes a lot of sense to eat at the same time each day. Great points.

My husband is exactly the same way, Greg! You are two lucky, lucky men

There is no “best time of the day to eat” for me — I’m one of those lucky skinny guys who can eat at all hours and not gain a pound.
