☀️ Why Morning/early afternoon Calories Help Leptin & Fat Loss
1. Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Timing
Your metabolism follows a circadian rhythm — it’s more active in the morning and early day.
• Insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning, meaning your body handles carbs and energy better.
• Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning, preparing your body to be alert and use energy efficiently.
• Leptin sensitivity is also stronger earlier in the day.
➡️ Eating more calories — especially protein + complex carbs — in the morning helps your body:
• Reset leptin and insulin rhythms,
• Signal satiety earlier,
• Reduce evening hunger, and
• Encourage fat oxidation overnight.
