Do you try to refrain from eating in the evening?

You eat late at night, it often becomes fat, does this influence what and when you eat at night?

i try not to eat late at night, unless it is a light preservative-free food. And eating at night is not a good idea, because your body functions grind to an almost complete halt when you go to sleep. The body generally tries to focus on repairing other functions for repairing the body. in fact, science nearly regards sleep as a temporary death-state. Your metabolism also goes down, I always try not to eat late at night. But if I'm out late or my schedule is thrown off, I might. I usually pay the consequences with a tummy ache.

Trapped wind, constipation, late night hogging side effects

absolutely. Its more about health than weight. If only Americans thought of their intake in terms of health instead of aesthetics! certain kinds of foods actually effect your emotional state too--I think a lot of people are suffering from depression, mental disorders, etc. from the foods they eat; and when they eat them.

i don't like to go to sleep full. I don't rest well. I prefer my stomach to be relatively empty so I'm ready to hike in the morning. no grogginess.

nothing to do with worrying about weight. I eat he same exact amount/ thing everyday, time of eating, wouldn't change how much I weigh.

Yes you tend to overeat late at night, it's the worst time to eat. I try to eat large meals earlier in the day so I'm not tempted late at night.

Except this doesn't matter at all. Eating in the evening has absolutely no influence on how fat you are.

I never eat 4 hours before bedtime. Just empty calories.

No

No since it's been proven many times that it's a myth and is more of eating junk food or sleeping immediately after eating than suddenly food eaten late at night turns into fat while food eaten in the morning/afternoon don't.

It's actually a myth that food consumed at night is automatically worse than food consumed during the day. People just tend to eat more junk and/or binge at night, that's why surveys showed that people who eat at night tend to be less healthy. Researchers just made the wrong connection until they started doing experimental studies and considering other variables.

Anyway, no, I don't actively try to prevent myself from eating IF I'm actually hungry :P

Yes. It doesn't always become fat though. If your body needs nutrients like protein to rebuild torn down muscles, it will use that protein productively while you sleep.

My family eats dinner late at night so it's really hard for me to avoid. When I go to college I'm going try to eat dinner earlier and I will continue to not eat after dinner.

I was just thinking about this tonight actually. I ate chocolate pudding. I`ll be up all night now so I definitely do not put thought into it till after the fact but probably should from here on out.

Eating at night doesn't make you fat. Its not the time that you eat the food, its the volume and amount of calories you take in throughout the day.

[PoeticNinja]

Not a bit. I go get Taco Bell or McDonalds at night or have a full on meal at one A.M before I hit the sack.

[redheadgirl]

I don't eat after 7 pm I drink lots of water to help keep me full

[Tweetumzz143]

i still eat what I want but just the right amount ^-^

[frigg]

I don't eat full on meals but I do eat junk at night.

[karenirving307]

i just have fruits or vegetables after supper for a snack then that's about it

[CantStopTheBeat]

Doesn't turn into fat. Maybe take longer to digest.

[Anonymous]

i try to, but it doesn't seem to work out that way.

[hotxos]

no matter what I eat and when, I still get fat because of my metabolism is slow

[Anonymous]

nope! I'm skinny so I eat all I want, when I want, and how I want haha... especially late at night

[NMMan]

I also don't try to eat in the late hours.

[beastman88]
