Breakfast like a King,
Lunch like a Lord,
Dinner like a Pauper.

Yep... breakfast is suppose to be the fuel for the day... lunch is long term energy and dinner is more of a large snack... Stomach should be done with it's work by the time you go to bed. Or so I've been told.

Strictly speaking, your weight is not effected by when you eat your food. I mean you don't gain more weight by eating closer to bed. But it is still better to eat earlier on so you have the energy to exercise more.
