I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation, but not a causation.

I think it's more about how people eat after 8:00 or whatever time you put on it. For instance, if you eat your three meals before 8:00 and then eat after 8:00 you're naturally eating more calories even if it's irrelevant to when you ate them. Also, eating at that time is likely more often be low quality snacking rather than healthy meal eating.
