Avoiding late-night snacking has long been recommended to those trying to lose weight, and this recommendation appears to be well-founded: numerous studies have found a strong correlation between eating late at night and an increased risk of obesity.
Adding to this body of literature are two recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which further emphasized the metabolic benefits of consuming calories earlier in the day versus closer to bedtime.
So let’s take a look at how these two studies – by Vujovic et al. and by Ruddick-Collins et al., respectively – compare with each other and what they can collectively tell us about the effects of calorie distribution patterns.
