If you're trying to lose weight, you may want to pay closer attention to when you eat.

Participants in a new study who ate a bigger meal later in the day lost less weight than those who ate earlier.

The study, conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, followed 420 people during a 20-week weight loss program.

Participants who ate lunch before 3 o'clock lost 25% more weight than those who ate after 3 PM.
