Meal time: Does it matter? Should I be eating my evening meal before 6pm?

9 Minutes to Better Health with Dr Nick Fuller

The number of people struggling with their weight has doubled since 1980 – If we look at Australia, for example, approximately 2 in 3 people are now considered overweight. Consequently, we turn to diets, often spruiked by big-names celebrities to lose weight, and many of these diets promote eating little in the morning or skipping breakfast entirely. Intermittent fasting is the current fad we are all talking about, and it often means breakfast is the first to be scrapped from the menu in an attempt to cut calories from the diet and shorten the eating window throughout the day.

Should you be skipping breakfast? Does it matter how much you eat at each meal? And should you eat your evening meal before 6pm?

Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the literature to find out all the answers.
