Quotes to ponder:

"Food consumption affects the central clock in your brain. This clock controls circadian rhythms and impacts all aspects of metabolism, including how your organs function."

"Meals can be a central part of our social life - and busy training schedules can contribute to chaotic eating patterns - many athletes disregard the fact that food is more than just fuel."

"Restricting daytime food and eating in chaotic patterns disrupts normal biological rhythms. The end result: erratic meal timing can impact the development of cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and obesity."
