Abstract
Pregnant women undergo metabolic adaptations and challenges that predispose them to a variety of complications. The objective
of this article was to highlight the importance of eating timing and especially limited evening eating on optimizing pregnancy status
and pediatric health and welfare. Because of limited evening and nocturnal metabolic capacity to handle nutrients (e.g., glucose),
pregnant women are recommended to take smaller and earlier evening meals and instead distribute their main food meals over the
course of morning and day hours. Such a food intake regimen would considerably reduce diabetes and obesity risks and improve
upcoming lactation performance and pediatric health and welfare.
