“Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper.” This maxim is usually attributed to nutrition writer Adelle Davis, and since her passing in 1974, the advice to eat less at night to help with fat loss has lived on and continued to circulate.
This includes suggestions such as:
Don’t eat a lot before bedtime
Don’t eat midnight snacks
Don’t eat anything after 7 pm
Don’t eat any carbs at night
Don’t eat any carbs after 3 pm.
