"First up, a study shows that eating a larger carbohydrate-rich meal later in the day helps rather than hinders weight loss."
"This study does show a clear benefit to eating more carbohydrates at night. But the difference was still relatively small, amounting to 5.5 pounds (2.5kg) over six months."
