Why the same foods you eat during the day can lead to belly fat, higher blood sugar & poorer cholesterol levels at night; study has the answer

Night owls consuming high-energy foods late at night show greater body fat. Evening-types eat less in the morning and more after 8 pm. This eating pattern is associated with higher body fat percentage and obesity risk. Women preferring later bedtimes had poorer lipid profiles and glucose regulation. Meal timing, especially reducing late-night eating, can improve health outcomes.
