A new small-scale American study has suggested that eating dinner late in the evening could increase the risk of gaining weight.

Carried out by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the new study recruited 10 men and 10 women, all healthy, and asked them to eat dinner at two different times – 6pm and 10pm – before going to bed in the lab at 11pm.
