MYTH #32:

DON’T EAT AT NIGHT IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT

This is silly advice, but it’s followed by many. Losing weight requires that you consume less energy (calories) than you expend, and meal timing has little bearing on this.

If you overeat during the day instead of late at night, there’s no difference in the effect of those extra calories. Weight loss is such a precise activity that if you eat too much in just one meal but stick to your meal plan for the rest of the day, you can fail to lose fat that day.

A literature review conducted by the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research highlights several key findings relating to meal frequency:

Past studies that associated a “grazing” style of eating (many small meals per day) with greater weight loss were flawed in various ways, and the conclusions drawn from them even more so.

Newer, more rigorous research has shown that there are no metabolic advantages to eating fewer or greater meals per day.

Meal patterns do not directly accelerate or impair weight loss, but can predispose people to overeat and thus fail to lose weight 183 .
