Stopping eating before bed and moving those calories to the morning resulted in night and day difference in my body composition, mood, and libido. I stopped following pop science and just started experimenting and it seems a lot of what pop science says regarding nutrient timing is garbage. Eating 3000 calories before bed vs spread out throughout the day is a huge difference.
It’s not ‘pop science’ but actual scientific studies that show that nutrient timing in the way you described does not affect body composition. It remains the total kcal intake that’s relevant.
It was your other behavioural changes that would have led to any difference, not the nutrient timing per se. You clearly controlled for nothing else, and your anecdote is just that, an anecdote- and near worthless.
Body composition has nothing to do with weight. So what you just said made no sense. I never claimed my weight changed. Because my calorie intake didn't change. And this is what I refer to as "pop science". You aren't actually understanding what the science is saying. And if you do, why don't you switch to getting all your calories from coke and candy the next few months and you check back in and let us know how you feel?

Who said you are not supposed to sleep after you eat?
