Does it matter what time you eat?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I forget to eat in the day time and end up eating like at 1am. I know it’s common for people that work over night to eat at night like a er doctor. What I don’t understand is why people say don’t eat in the night?

Ultimately it doesn't matter in any given time period as your body needs xyz calories so as long as you get them its fine. At night your body is in slow mo and trying to self repair, its better to "fast" over night (hence break-fast in the morning) to give your body time to fix its self... imagine trying to fix a car with the engine running constantly.

Some of these sayings come from old myths or misinformation, like if you were from the UK we as kids often believed carrots would make you see in the dark... turns out it was a propaganda campaign that was created in WW2 so the Germans thought that was why our pilots knew where their planes were as they wanted to keep RADAR secret... but still to this day 80 years later some people still say it
