Quick takeaways

Striving for perfection in dieting can lead to unsustainable habits and negative relationships with food, it's important to focus on long-term sustainability and moderation for lasting results.

Having regular meal times and making nutritious food choices can support energy balance and satiety regulation, although nutrient timing itself may not have a significant effect on weight management or health outcomes.

While striving for progress is crucial, it's important to recognize that there are diminishing returns to achieving perfection in nutrition, focusing on sustainable habits and overall well-being is more beneficial than seeking a flawless diet.

Striving for perfection and strict adherence to a specific diet is not only unnecessary but can also lead to unsustainable habits and negative relationships with food. It's important to focus on long-term sustainability and moderation to achieve lasting results.
