Now, you might be wondering about the best time to eat dinner is and what you should eat and avoid. Here are all the answers you are looking for.

Nutritionist Lovneet Batra explains in one of her Instagram posts, "Do not skip main meals in order to lose weight faster. It is observed that many replace main meals with a snack or a salad or just don't eat. It might help in cutting calorie but in long run, it is not so productive. The main battle you have to fight here is to deal with hunger hormones. So, instead of skipping meals or starving it is better to stay in tune with your hunger hormone."

One common meal that many skip is dinner which is followed by staying up till late and bingeing on unhealthy foods. This can make you gain weight instead of losing.
