Another large study found that individuals who made breakfast the largest meal of the day were more likely to lose weight than those who made lunch or dinner their largest meals . This validated other large studies that showed that a big breakfast helps keep the pounds off over time.
Yes.. … people have a understanding that to remain healthy and to maintain good weight, the food consumption pattern should be like a reverse Pyramid. Your breakfast should be biggest, then lunch should be lesser in qty and finally dinner should be like a Token dinner i.e. very small portion.
New research shows that eating your biggest meal of the day at lunch instead of at dinner may help you slim down. Researchers think more calories at lunch help to keep hunger at bay, which means less afternoon snacking and fewer daily calories overall.
Only about a third of American adults regularly eat breakfast , and over 50 percent skip breakfast at least once a week. Many Adventists who follow the “ breakfast – like-a-king ” rule eat only two meals a day, one mid-morning and another around 4 p.m. “ Breakfast like a king ; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper.”
“ Eat breakfast like a king , lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” is an old saying in many countries. It is still valid nowadays and it helps promote a healthy nutrition habit. Leaving home without having eaten your breakfast, will set you up for eating more (and/or worst) during the day.

The Clock-Weight Connection That being said, while the body doesn’t fiendishly stockpile food as fat when the clock strikes 6 p.m. , eating at night is linked to weight gain. And limiting late-night eating has been shown to result in weight loss, too.
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 the best time to digest food is during the day.
However, research has found that a smaller dinner and larger lunch could be the key to helping you shift those weight. Even if you have a really healthy diet, eating your biggest meal in the evening is not the best option, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
