30 Seconds Summary
Does late-night eating disrupt metabolism?

  • Late-night eating decreases 24-hour body temperature and waketime energy expenditure, while increasing hunger and the desire to eat.
  • A longer study compared weight loss between different calorie distributions: shifting more to the morning versus the evening, finding similar weight loss but increased hunger when more calories were consumed in the evening.
  • The effect of meal timing on metabolism and hunger is nuanced; restricting the daily feeding window can indirectly reduce hunger and manage appetite effectively.
  • The exact timing of meals (early vs. late) offers a smaller advantage in managing weight and appetite than the duration of the feeding window itself.
  • Practical strategies for those struggling with weight include adjusting food choices and potentially narrowing the feeding window to about 8-10 hours a day.

Science, bro-science, and real-world application

Of late, bashing “bro-science” has come into vogue, and I understand why. The fitness industry has very low barriers to entry, and for a long time the sorts of claims made with an utter paucity of evidence by people in the industry more resembled articles of faith than evidence-based statement from…
