Tag: Smaller dinner

Studies have revealed that consuming most of your calories earlier in the day may lead to greater weight loss and improved metabolic health compared to eating a large dinner. This evidence supports the long-held maxim to "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.".

According to a controlled laboratory study, reducing the portion size of main meals significantly decreases daily energy intake, even if the portions are perceived as 'smaller than normal'. This finding fuels the debate over whether it is better to have a smaller dinner to support weight loss and overall health, prompting a closer look at the science.

The dietary adage "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" has been around for decades, and modern science is increasingly finding merit in this advice. But should dinner be your smallest meal of the day for optimal health?
