Believe it or not, there may be a right time to eat if people want to lose weight.



A survey discovered 84 percent of dieters believe having defined meal times is a key to weight loss.



Breakfast should be come shortly after 7 a.m., with 7:11 a.m. being the optimal time.



Lunch is best enjoyed earlier rather than later; between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m., with 12:38 p.m. being the best time.



And dinner should fall between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., with 6:14 p.m. being best.



A British diet supplement company conducted the survey.
