yes it;s better but not good analogy.

If you eat smaller meals,you boost your metabolism and it's easier for your body to digest.It's better to eat 5 little meals per day,but the most important in the end is totall calories don't forget.

no it's not the same.(btw you must be a short not teenager woman ON a diet with a deficit of 500 to totally consume only 1500!) If all the day you consume 400 you have starved yourself all day lowered very much your metabolism,and then with the huge dinner first you will surely get nightmares,and your body will have problem digest.Your stomach will hurt with having to dilate so much.Maybe it won't make such a difference in weight but it is bad for your health.Which is the most important here.

try to spread it out body composition (fat vs. muscle) can be better under conditions where its more spread out. (i said CAN not WILL)

HIIT feels good, and i do it, but for pure calories burned, its only minutely (no even mentionable) better than low internsity

i think EPOC is pretty overrated.

My sister is adamant not eating after 5 works for her but my friend who lived in Spain for 10 years eats at 11 p.m. and she's in great shape. I guess it depend on what else you do throughout the day.

There's a survey about whether not eating after 7 pm works at:

You can see the results after voting.

the thing is though, i could have a great or awful diet that ends at 5 or 7. and i could have a great or awful one that is continuous.

It's not when you eat, it's how much you eat. You have 24 hours to consume X amount of calories. Just because your last meal is at midnight, doesn't mean you'll gain more bodyfat than if you stop eating at 7. In fact, you might lose more bodyfat by eating at midnight than if you stop eating at 7. If you have acid reflux disease, then don't eat your last meal 5 minutes before bedtime, but if you don't have stomach acids burning your esophagus, it makes very little difference what time you eat, especially when it comes to weight loss.
