That was my big takeaway from all the intermittent fasting research I looked at, if possible, eat earlier in the day, so now I try to eat dinner early (I know that’s not possible for everyone) but most people should at least be able to avoid late night eating whenever possible. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, with or without an early pauper’s dinner would probably best.
