Steve,
I'd be interested in your source to say that the statements I've made are false. I have a Master's Degree in Exercise Science and I am a licensed nutritionist and I am only stating things that have been shown with clear research. If you know of research that says otherwise from a credible source I would be interested to see this.
Motherof2,
If you are eating 900
calories at dinner and only 500 for the rest of the day you might have some problems. If you are not over weight and are happy with where you are then you might be on the high end with your metabolism and you might be about to get away with this. If you are trying to lose weight and this isn't working it would be the first thing I would recommend you change. You
body works much better with a constant supply of
energy to keep your metabolism elevated. When you get all or most of your
calories in one meal your
body will store most of the
calories as
fat.
