RB believes it is all right to skip breakfast, eat light during the day, and eat a big meal at night. Is anything wrong with this kind of thinking? If so, identify the problem and describe the solution
The problem is eating considerably more kcals than needed and going to bed. During sleep, our BMR decreases, and the excess kcals will be converted to fat. During the day, RB eats enough to keep his blood sugar at a level that prevents fat breakdown. He does no exercise to burn the excess kcals; thus, there is a daily increase in weight.
