For a long time, information has stated that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day—nutritionists emphasize this practically at every turn. What is the best time to eat breakfast? Researchers have identified the optimal time.

Some people eat their first meal only around noon. Nutritionists criticize such practices and clearly emphasize that this is a significant mistake. The body needs substantial energy early on to start functioning well.

The timing of the meal is also very important. The most essential rule is that breakfast should be consumed no later than an hour after waking up.

Scientists from the University of Murcia in Spain have found that breakfast is best eaten at approximately 7:11 AM. The study primarily considered the benefits associated with losing excess weight.

What about the other meals? Researchers believe that lunch is best eaten around 12:38 PM, and sitting down for dinner around 6:14 PM is optimal.
