"   Okay, we&amp;#039;re not always bright-eyed in the morning, but it looks like we&amp;#039;ll have to learn how to fake it. Why? Well, new research shows that we burn more fat when we work out in the morning\u2014and now, studies show that eating earlier in the day is better for weight loss. The study followed people enrolled in a weight loss program and found that those who ate lunch later in the day\u2014after 3 p.m.\u2014lost 25 percent less weight over a 20 week people than those who ate earlier in the day. And no, it had nothing to do with exercise: The two groups performed the same amount of exercise and sleep. Researchers don&amp;#039;t yet know how meal timing really affects weight loss, just that it does. Your best bet? Try to eat your bigger meals earlier in the day. But, don&amp;#039;t feel guilty if you&amp;#039;re too busy to eat early\u2014you won&amp;#039;t stop dropping the lbs., the scale will just move slower. Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter.
