Does eating late at night make you fat?
Should you eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up?
Is there a best time to eat your carbs?
Everyone has an opinion on meal timing.
Here is what the evidence actually says.
Thread:
The short answer:
The short answer is that meal timing matters much less than most people think.
The most important variable in fat loss is not when you eat.
It is how much you eat relative to how much your body burns.
A calorie eaten at 7am and a calorie eaten at 10pm are processed by your body in essentially the same way.
Your body does not have a clock that converts food into fat after a certain hour.
It has a system that stores excess energy as fat regardless of what time that excess arrived.
Total calories consumed versus total calories burned.
That is the variable that determines fat loss.
Not the time on the clock when the food was eaten.

You cut the rice.
You stopped the soft drinks.
You have been eating less for weeks.
And your belly is just sitting there.
Completely unbothered.
Looking at you like you have not done a single thing.
There are four specific reasons this happens and most people never hear any of them.
Thread:
Reason one:
Less than before is not the same as less than you burn.
This is the most common reason and the most uncomfortable one to hear.
Eating less than you used to eat does not automatically mean eating less than your body needs to lose fat.
If you were eating 3000 calories before and you cut down to 2500 that is less.
But if your body only needs 2000 calories to stay the same weight you are still eating more than it needs.
Still storing fat.
Just more slowly than before.
Less than before is not the target.
Less than your body burns every day is the target.
To find that number take your body weight in kilograms and multiply it by 28.
That is roughly how many calories your body needs to stay the same weight.
Eat less than that number and your body goes to your fat stores to make up the difference.
That is how belly fat actually leaves.

I genuinely forgot I had a jawline.
I thought round was just my face. That was simply how God made me and I had fully accepted it.
It was not how God made me.
It was how getting fat made me.
Here is what caused it and exactly what I did to fix it.
Thread:
Face fat is not a face problem.
It is a body fat problem that shows up on your face.
Your face has subcutaneous fat….fat that sits just under the skin. As your overall body fat percentage increases, fat distributes across your entire body including your face, cheeks, jaw, and under your chin.
There is no isolated cause for face fat.
High overall body fat is the cause.
Which means there is also no isolated fix for face fat.
Losing overall body fat is the fix.
Anyone selling you a face-specific solution: Exercises, tools, creams: is selling you something that does not work.

Rules I gave my client to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously (thread) 👇
Body recomposition = changing what your body is made of.
Less fat. More muscle. Same or similar weight.
The scale might barely move.
But you'll look completely different. Your clothes will fit differently. Your energy changes. Your strength changes.
