I read the article. My summary: It is better for your health to eat earlier than later. The worst time to eat is at night. While an ideal time to eat isn’t given, it’s probably somewhere between 8am-1pm.

Notwithstanding that a specific hour doesn't mean much without knowing one's schedule, I believe avoiding food within approx 5 hours of bedtime is the guideline I usually come across in studies. Intermittent fasters should take note rather than discounting a reproducible body of evidence as "propaganda". Its possible to do IF on an early schedule.

  > Its possible to do IF on an early schedule. I'm considering inverting my IF schedule. I typically eat 1-2 meals today. Some days, I won't eat my first and only meal until 5:00 pm. Other days, I'll eat my first meal later in the afternoon, at about 2:00 pm and then again at about 6:00. Through IF, I've been able to shed about 20 pounds (160lb to 140lb) and sustainable keep it off. However, I miss eating breakfast with my family, especially during winter, when a warm bowl of porridge...just hits the spot. So, I'm really considering during winter time frame, to switch up IF to an early schedule and experiment a bit.
