Why should the habit of a very heavy dinner be reduced?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It may increase total energy intake and be associated with indigestion or digestive discomfort
A very large dinner can make total daily energy intake exceed requirements, especially when activity is low afterward. It may also cause uncomfortable fullness, reflux or indigestion in some people and can disturb sleep. A moderate, balanced evening meal eaten with attention to overall portions is generally more suitable. Meal timing matters, but total diet quality and energy balance matter as well.
