You might really want to seriously consider rethinking that stance, soflsun. Go look around on pubmed if you want to, the research simply does not back up your statement.
Furthermore, my own personal experience with the diet I just ended goes against your statement as well. Consider that I fasted all day long, then took in all my calories in a short window, going to bed immediately after I finished eating all my calories. If the notion you are supporting was true, then that fails to explain why I experienced the fastest, most efficient fat loss of my life. Yes, I know that this is an anecdote that has no scientific value, but I figured it was okay since the article you referenced contained no scientific references or any sort of citations to back up the authors claims.
From the article:

Timing also seems to make a difference. In one study, for example, all participants ate the exact same 2,000-calorie meal once a day. One group ate in the morning and the other at night. The group who ate at night gained weight, while the morning group did not. If calories were the only thing that counted, it shouldn't have mattered when they ate them.

I'd like to see that study, but sadly the author neglected to give us a reference. But... having all participants of a study all consume the exact same amount of calories for the study is BEYOND retarded. I shouldn't have to explain why, but I will anyway.
For this study to be legitimate, they would have to all eat MAINTENANCE and have the only variance be the timing. That might show us something. But having them all consume 2000 calorie meals shows us nothing.
