Weight loss advice tends to focus on what to eat to lose weight so much that many of us are forgetting to look at other factors – like the best time to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

While ultimately whether you follow a diet that works (opens in new tab) and how much food you consume will be the marker of weight loss, choosing when you eat meals could have a huge impact on how hungry you get throughout the day. Research has shown that time-restricted eating can help in reducing body fat. Perhaps, many people are using early time-restricted feeding plan, a form of intermittent fasting in which dieters eat all of their meals in the morning and afternoon and fast for the rest of the day, to promote fat burning and curb their appetite.

In this article, based on facts and findings on Cleveland Clinic, we’ll be discussing the best time you should eat if you are trying to lose weight.

When Should I Eat My Meals to Lose Weight?

According to Healthline, a survey has revealed the best times to eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner if you want to lose weight:

Breakfast – just after 7 am, with 7.11 am picked as ideal

Lunch – between 12.30 pm and 1 pm, with 12.38 pm being the best time to eat

Dinner – between 6 pm and 6.30 pm, preferably 6.14 pm

It’s been told that eating dinner after 8 pm can add inches to your waist. These meal timings were based on the results of the survey conducted by diet company Forza Supplements, which asked 1,000 dieters when was the best time to eat for optimal weight loss. We hope the above tips will help you time your meals and achieve your weight loss goals.

Tips for Maintaining an Optimal Eating Schedule

Balancing work or school, exercise and proper eating can be challenging. Follow these tips to help fit everything in:

Plan ahead: Do as much meal prep in advance as possible so you can have your meals ready at optimal times. For instance, whip up a batch of chili and bake chicken on the weekends for easy weeknight reheats.

Change your exercise routine: change your exercise routine to see how it impacts you. While you may have exercised at night your whole life, your body may respond better to mornings now that you eat differently.
