So, if I consume 2,500 cal per day at breakfast, fast the rest of the day, and keep my weight steady, then consuming 2,500 cal at supper instead of at breakfast will cause me to build fat reserves.
It seems to me that, as a corollary, I can consume 2,000 cal at supper instead of 2,500 at breakfast and still hold my fat reserves steady. The calories from supper are used with greater efficiency.
So, given that I can choose freely how many calories to consume at any time, aren't calories consumed later in the day actually _better_ on a lot of dimensions?
Also, the breakfast depicted in that article looks delicious.

This seems to assume you need to lose weight...
