We all know the adage, “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” But is there any truth to it?
Eating a small dinner seems to makes sense if we think about our circadian rhythm—our 24-hour body clock that helps us determine what time it is. It receives light from the eyes and tells us when we should wake up and when we should go to sleep. It also tells us that the best time to digest food is during the day.
