Are You Well Informed?

When is the best time to eat dinner?

Answer: It depends on what time you go to bed and what you're eating. While dieticians recommend eating between 5 pm and 7 pm., they’re assuming the person will fall asleep around 10 pm Eating at least three hours prior to bedtime will give your body enough time to digest, but you might want to eat even earlier if you plan to have a high-fat meal.
