Why you should skip BRUNCH: Eating meals later on the weekend 'could make you gain weight by messing with your body clock' - Daily Mail
Most people enjoy a well-earned lie-in on the weekend, meaning their breakfast gets pushed back to brunch.
But eating meals later on Saturday and Sunday may cause weight gain – even if you consume the same amount of calories, research suggests.
Scientists found people who ate three-and-a-half hours later on weekends had BMIs 1.3 units higher, compared to those who stuck to their routine.
This remained true despite the quality of their diet, how long they slept for or how much they exercised.
