If you’re struggling to lose weight (and really, who isn’t?), it may be a matter of when as much as what you eat. Eating at the “right” time of day may be more key to weight loss than the number of calories you consume, a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center fed five groups of mice a diet about 30 percent lower in calories than their usual diet, but found that only those who ate during their normal active feeding time (at night for mice) lost weight.

He never wants to eat and never tells us he’s hungry, so Mal and I were ALL about going out to lunch with him. We ended up at Not Your Average Joe’s .  After lunch, we headed home. Mal and I took turns showering and then he put Quinn down for his nap w
