At the time of day we eat has a big impact on our metabolism. For example, it is said that regular late, too lavish food goes with an increased risk of overweight, including larger amounts of snacks in front of the television. These findings are not new, but a lot is still unclear in the area of tension between late feasting, internal clock and growing body scope. For example, little has been known about how the time of food influences the glucose metabolism and how much of this is genetically determined.
