Any ideas?

Your routine will determine the optimal time to eat to maintain your calorie intake; however, the following straightforward, practical advice is supported by nutrition research: For most people, three big meals plus one or two light snacks is the ideal way to distribute calories. Have more early in the day. Your body will use energy more effectively if you have a larger breakfast and lunch and a smaller dinner. Steer clear of late-night eating: To promote digestion and stable weight, try to finish your last meal two to three hours before bed. Maintain constant timing: Eating at around the same times every day aids in controlling metabolism and hunger. An example of a schedule–9 AM for breakfastLunch is from 12 to 2 PM. Snack: 4–5 p.m.Dinner is from 6 to 8 p.m.
