I have read ayurvedic (sp?) source that suggest a big midday meal followed by a short nap.There is some data showing increased inflammation with skipped breakfast but not with skipped dinner. This needs to be looked at some more and nobody knows yet how significant this is.
IMHO, the Warrior Diet hits this on the nose - don't be crazy, don't watch a clock, learn to go by feel, learn to eat a little without having a "meal" at some times. All science aside, this idea of "under-eating" has worked for me for close to 20 years now and my body composition is good according to most people.
