Previous research has found a link between poor diets, gaining weight, high body fat, and late-day eating as a factor in gaining weight; however, the effect of each person's biological clock, regardless of the time of eating during the day, has not yet been discovered. Relationship between weight and timing of eating In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) on September 6, 2017, researchers at BWH studied the relationship between body fat, body mass index and timing of eating for the day and the body's biological clock.

"We found that the timing of eating and its relationship to the beginning of the secretion of melatonin, which is a sign of the begi...
