Explain why eating most of your calories earlier in the day might improve weight loss and atherosclerosis management


?
Time of day when fats and cholesterol are consumed can influence blood lipids and coronary heart disease risk. Peak digestion time after a heavy meal is approximately 7 hours. If lipids (fats) are consumed during that meal, peak digestion occurs while they are asleep and metabolism is at its lowest. This may cause the fats to not be metabolized as well, leading to increased lipid blood levels and increased risk for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
