Is the basic conclusion to skip dinner, and not skip breakfast?
- kryz 4y agoYes. Lots of other good research out there that suggests Dinner skipping > Breakfast skipping
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoIs it because you have more awake time after to burn the same calories?

- Jensson 4y agoThe study seems to suggest it goes the other way: when you are awake your body needs to burn calories so being awake on an empty stomach will stress your body. Note that the participants weren't overweight, if you are an average American this might not apply to you.
- jakeinspace 4y agoI would need to see some pretty incredible benefits to give up dinner over breakfast, that sounds miserable. I suppose if you’re someone who gets up at 5 and sleeps at 9 or 10 every night, then skipping dinner might be easier.
- amalgamated_inc 4y ago+1 Also take into account your circadian rhythm. Humans have a variability of ~4h in our internal clocks, so when they eat lunch that might be breakfast for me. If I eat dinner at 7pm and stay up until 2am (pretty normal for me), is that fine? Or did they toss me in with somebody who wakes up at 6am and goes to bed at 10pm, and thus only had maybe 2 hours between dinner and bed time?
- cofuente 4y agoThat's what I understood.
- insane_dreamer 4y agoYes, but bear in mind this was a _tiny_ study.
