Eating breakfast shortly after waking up helps energize and promotes healthier eating habits. Ideally, you should eat lunch four to five hours after eating breakfast to help keep your blood sugar stable.
If an early dinner isn't possible, a light, nutritious snack in the afternoon can help manage hunger until the meal. A meal that is insufficient in quantity and quality can cause overeating in the evening. Too heavy a lunch can cause a feeling of fatigue and lack of energy. The recommendation is to finish eating three hours before going to bed, so that you can maintain both a normal weight and a stable blood sugar level.
