Skinny-fat is when you’ve got a body-fat percentage of over 20% but still look skinny in a t-shirt. It’s when you’ve got skinny arms but still have fat around your belly. Why does that happen? Why are you gaining fat instead of muscle when you gain weight? And why are you losing muscle instead of fat when you lose weight? It’s a confusing situation to be in because it’s not clear whether you need to focus on bulking to build muscle or cutting to lose fat.

New research from the University of Surrey has found that eating your evening meal early, before 7pm, could help you lose weight faster than those who ate later in the evening. The study looked at 3 groups of people and their habits around when they ate their dinner: Early Dinner Group (which had a 6-hour window), Late Dinner Group (9 hours) and Nighttime Suppertime Group (12 hours).
