Is it better to eat in the morning or night for humans?

A separate study showed a small increase in the effects associated with these windowed eating patterns if the majority of food was consume earlier, and meal size tapered off as the day went on. But the difference wasn't big enough to worry about it.

Middle of the day for largest meal. Try to eat less before bed so liver can detox instead of digest food while u sleep. Also if your a man try working on peacock pose each morning 30 mins before eating (up to 5 mins) to boost digestion , if woman be careful when menstruating

  Peacock pose is not exactly for the faint-hearted.

    Peacock pose: "[...] oneself is raised like a horizontal stick holding the floor with both palms while the body is supported by the elbows" (Cited Wikipedia entry with image: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayurasana https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayurasana)

  Everything you said sounds like bullshit, do you have any source to back it up?

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072577/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072577/ Through an evolution lense we evolved to not be eating huge meals in the middle of the night. When the liver doesn’t have to work on digestion it can better focus on the myriad of other tasks it’s responsible for. As for mayurasana, I doubt any pharma company is going to drop 500 Gs to perform a double blind random controlled study with >1000 participants , but just try it for a month: http://www.hathayogamysore.com/asanas/mayurasana-the-peacock http://www.hathayogamysore.com/asanas/mayurasana-the-peacock “”” Benefits of The Peacock (Mayurasana) 1. Because of the pressure on the abdomen,the blood is directed towards the digestive organs.as the intra-abdominal pressure is increased,the abdominal viscera is toned 2. Liver,pancreas,stomach and spleen are invigorated.The nerves and muscles connected with the kidneys and intestines are revitalised. 3. Sluggishness of the liver or hepatic torpidity disappears. “”” It’s dangerous for women because the intense pressure and slight inversion can mess up their menstrual process during the height of it (3day span usually). Sadly no pharma studies are available on this (what company would drop money on studying that !)

      Governments would pay for it. As would health insurances. It is in their own benefit that they study this sort of thing. "Big pharma companies" won't because that is honestly outside their field of study, which is the development of pharma products. It seriously isn't worth taking money away from better treatments for malaria or cancer to study it. However, universities and goverments and health insurance companies would be interested. The first is because some universities are research centers and the other two are interested in lowering their costs for health care. Simple solutions are good for these groups. And about the woman stuff? I don't buy it. Of course they would drop money on it - at the same rate they drop money on menstral studies, anyway (it isn't as much as some other things, but they do study such things). Part of the menstral process is contributed by muscle cramps and gravity. Lying down in general will sometimes make things slow down, especially on the last day or two. Once the person is upright, the person might simply have a heavier flow those days. Without studies, this sort of advice is simply founded in superstition.

  Big breakfast. Just water for the rest of the day. This approach causes no hunger for me unless I ate a lot of carbs.

I am not a medical professional, but I have lost a great deal of weight (was on the low end of obese before, and trend towards very thin now). I've kept it off for at least 5 years, with a small amount of fluctuation (one pant size, isn't so much). I always suggest folks eat most when they find they are the most hungry. It takes a bit of paying attention, but after that it gets easy. I'm personally better off eating very lightly early in the day and eating a large meal at dinnertime. I feel satisfied being full then and don't miss the food early in the day. When I try to eat a full breakfast or lunch regularly, I'm actually more hungry the rest of the day and still want the full dinner. I'm also a night owl, but I do not know if this is related. This holds true no matter what waking schedule I'm on, however. I personally eat a very light breakfast (a piece of bread with some cheese, for example), a light snack if I'm hungry during the day, and a full dinner. Only dinner is a warm meal, mostly vegetarian save for fish once a week. My mother, on the other hand, has done the opposite, She's likely to eat a decent breakfast (instead of a piece of bread with cheese), a lunch, and a light dinner. Her weight loss wasn't as drastic as mine, but she didn't weigh as much either. The thing is that us humans aren't all wired the same way. Even things like insulin response can vary from human to human. I'm guessing there is a genetic component or something to it, but that is an uneducated guess.
