Don't eat after 9:00PM... ESPECIALLY CARBS!
One of the biggest risks of skipping meals during the day is that you then overeat at night. Your body uses calories all day, but any big surplus stores as fat. If you skip meals during the day with the thought of rewarding yourself at night with a larger meal, you are setting yourself up for diabetes inducing results. Eating more calories during the evening will pack more fat around your belly. Eating the bulk of your calories after dark also sends your bad LDL up and the good HDL down.
The rate at which your food leaves your stomach slows down at night. The old adage "eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner" is RIGHT on the money! At the end of the day, you are NOT going to burn up any extra calories for the better part of seven or eight hours, so any remaining calories you eat at night will turn straight to fat.
