Breakfast Is the Most Important Meal for Dieters
Women who ate half of 1,400 daily calories at breakfast lost almost 80 percent more weight than women who ate half their 1,400 calories at dinner.
Katherine Harmon reports

Your mother was right: breakfast is the most important meal of the day—especially if you're looking to lose weight. And the bigger the better, according to a new study in the journal Obesity. [Daniela Jakubowicz et al., High Calorie Intake at Breakfast versus Dinner Differentially Influences Weight Loss of Overweight and Obese Women ]

But shouldn't a calorie be just a calorie, whether it's eaten morning, noon or night? Not quite. Timing, it turns out, is key.


"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Makes sense to me. Take on the calories before the day begins. When your body can use them.
The worst is taking on food before you sleep.

My farm family used to have big breakfasts, big picnic lunches during plowing and harvesting season, but just soup and bread for dinner. Why waste that expensive, high calorie food for sleep?

The one issue with heavy carb meals at breakfast and lunch is it does tend to tire you out.

If I do have a heavy evening meal, I will try to walk for an hour to increase my metabolism.

If you focus on high protein sources rather than high carb, you don't get sluggish and you aren't hungry soon after.

If all you do is focus on your food you'll never gain weight, eating it is what kills you
