Building Your Eating Schedule

The ideal schedule respects your biology without making you miserable:

• Eat within a 10-12 hour window - this gives your body enough overnight fasting time for cellular repair
• Make lunch your largest meal if you can - daytime glucose tolerance is usually better than late-night tolerance
• Keep dinner moderate - a lighter evening meal matches declining insulin sensitivity
• Protein at every meal spreads amino acids out, which helps maintain muscle
• Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed to protect both sleep and metabolic health

Perfect timing matters less than consistency. A regular schedule your body can predict beats an optimized one you follow erratically.
