Yesterday, I was thinking about my weight loss when I first moved to Utah. I lost about 25 pounds in 8 weeks. I never quite figured out why, because I was eating the same stuff. But I wasn't eating it at the normal times.
I was working graveyard. I didn't eat breakfast when I woke up. I ate dinner. My meals were backwards. I ate lunch around the middle of my shift, but then I got home and ate breakfast before I went to bed.
I'm wondering if that's what made the difference. I was eating my biggest meal when I first woke up, and something light before I went to bed.
Maybe I should switch things up a little bit.

that's a good point... our bodies don't need all that food/energy for sleeping!
And that's perhaps where the idea of "the most important meal of the day" came from. What I understand is that breakfast jump starts our metabolism and gets our bodies ready for the day. What you are describing makes sense.
