That Late-night Snack: Worse Than You Think.
Interesting article on the ScienceDaily site. Basically they examined the effects of timing of food intake on weight gain. Finding the optimal time for eating is almost as important as what you eat!
From the writeup: “Our circadian clock, or biological timing system, governs our daily cycles of feeding, activity and sleep, with respect to external dark and light cycles. Recent studies have found the body’s internal clock also regulates energy use, suggesting the timing of meals may matter in the balance between caloric intake and expenditure.”
The question is, what is the right time?
