A dietician friend pointed out that the correct time to eat your main meals is
in the first half of the day, to provide you with energy you will then use.
Sleeping doesn't take much effort, so there is little point in having a massive
supper late at night. The same dietician also pointed out that moderation is
even more sensible. Eating a massive breakfast, and then having nothing
significant for the rest of the day is not a good approach.
