WHEN DOES YOUR BODY BURNS CALORIES THE MOST? LATE AFTERNOON

According to the research, which was published in Current Biology. At rest, humans burn about 10% more calories in the late afternoon than they do late at night, laboratory experiments found.

That equals about 130 extra calories burned during the late afternoon and evening versus the middle of the night, without any extra work on your part, says study co-author Dr. Jeanne Duffy, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a neuroscientist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
