It's been said breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but a new study has found the time you eat doesn't matter when it comes to weight loss.
University of Aberdeen researchers set out to tackle myths about how timing influences body weight or health. In a key finding, they reported that the time you eat the largest meal of the day doesn't affect metabolism - the rate your body burns calories - so eating a hearty breakfast doesn't burn more calories in and of itself.
However, scientists noted that participants who ate bigger breakfasts felt more in control of their appetites, which could lead to weight loss.
