MEAL MYTH BUSTED

New research out of the University of Aberdeen shows that whether a person eats their largest meal early or late in the day does not affect the way that their body metabolises calories. However, people who ate their largest meal in the morning did report feeling less hungry later in the day, which could foster easier weight loss in the real world. “There are a lot of myths surrounding the timing of eating and how it might influence either body weight or health,” says senior author Professor Alexandra Johnstone.
