Have you ever skipped breakfast, or opted for a late night snack? A new study says that people with Type 2 diabetes who eat breakfast later are more likely to have a higher BMI. Researchers led by Dr. Sirimon Reutrakul at the Chicago College of Medicine wanted to figure out if the time of day that you eat impacts your BMI.

The study found that people who waited to eat breakfast until later in the morning and thus ate the rest of their meals later in the day were linked to a risk of a higher BMI.

This isn't the first study that links time and frequency of eating to BMI changes. Another study, led by Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, recommends eating breakfast and lunch, skipping supper, avoiding snacks, making breakfast the largest meal of the day.
