Nick,

While I agree that avoiding big meals before bed isn’t going to be conducive for many people’s diet goals, that doesn’t mean a blanket recommendation should be given based on faulty science. Here’s an article using such bad science to justify the recommendation.

Good points, but I think you’re lumping a lot of advice together that might not have been given with metabolism solely in mind.

Meal timing is of at least some importance here. Unless dieters are monitoring every calorie and sticking to the plan, hunger matters. I don’t see any non-Thanksgiving meals eaten right before bed having a big influence on hunger the next day, so a simple rule might be “don’t eat a lot before bed in order to be hungry less when awake and therefore more easily limit caloric consumption.”

I do much better when i’m not thinking about what i’m eating all the time. 6 small meals always leaves me unsatisfied. I find that i eat better when i have 3 decent meals a day and time them right. thats when i lose fat.

I think making smaller meals don´t slow the metabolism so much to do the digestion, what can be a factor in fat accumulation.
