Well, if it's a low calorie food then its alright, and if you're staying up late doing something. Because, remember, eating late is bad because you go to sleep and dont burn enough calories to get rid of what you just ate. So eating at night isn't really that good for unless you are like... running an all night marathon... |

i have heard people say both.
I have heard jillian michaels (from the biggest loser) say on her radio show that it doesn't make any difference what time of day food is eaten at
i have also conventionally learned that eating food later at night is not good due to metabolism being slower than during the day.
I am going to stick with conventional wisdom and state that it is not good. It's best to eat 6-7 small meals every 2-3 hours so that your body is always burning energy. |

No. This is not correct. If you eat food before you go to sleep, your body isn't doing anything to work it off, and your metabolism certainly isn't running as fast as it does when you are fully conscious. Basically, the food you eat before you sleep sits in your gut and doesn't digest like it does after lunch or breakfast, therefore it turns to fat. : ( |

That person is pulling your leg. Eating at night is not advisable and in fact makes you pile on the weight faster. |

As a whole eating at night is not very good thing to do! 'Couse the stomach will not digest the food very well. Don't do that! (my advice) :) |

It depends on who you talk to on what answer you will get. I believe that if you eat fruits and light low fat foods at night, that they aren't fattening, but if you are eating a tub of buttered popcorn before bed, that could certainly lead to weight gain in some people.
The best thing to do is eat a healthy balanced diet, and not worry about the myths and such. Talk to your Doctor about what is the best eating plan for you. |

That is dead wrong.
Any doctor or fitness expert will tell you that your best bet is to avoid eating within three hours of your bed time. When you sleep all processes slow down, even heart beat and breathing. You barely burn any calories and the food doesn't digest properly.
So, it's best to go to bed without a full tummy. Your friend needs to check his/her facts. |

It depends on the person. I know people who can eat all they want at night and dont get fat and i know people who just look at food at night and they gain 5 lbs.
We are all different. |

Every food whenever taken in more than required is fattening.
Activity after eating will likely utilize food you take as a source of energy.
Non-activity like sleeping will lessen your consumption of energy, hence, the food you take will be converted to fats and proteins.
Unless, you sleep during day time, I know you'll get the answer and I hope I had helped. |

Night is the worst time to eat because you go to sleep and your body stores it as fat. |

I had this very conversation, with my doctor a couple weeks ago.
He said, " While it's prefered, that you don't eat at bedtime, its the total number of calories, you consume in a day that really matter".
He also added, "Most people who eat late at night, have already eaten their three meals for the day and their consuming excess calories. Now if you eat little during the day, like a bowl of cereal and just a sandwich later on, you can eat late at night. "
Then he said "You won't get fat if you eat your third "reasonable" meal late at night. Again as long as your consuming, a reasonable amount of calories" |

Eating food at night and eating food in the morning has the same effect. So if the food is fattening, eating it at night is fattening. |

Eating at night is not more fattening than any other time. Calories are calories. If you expend more calories during the time you are awake than what you eat, then you will lose weight. If you consume more calories than you burn during the day (and at night because it takes some calories just to sleep), then you will gain weight. When you eat doesn't matter. What matters is the number of calories you consume.
Heck if all you ate was fat and you burned more calories during the whole day (24 hour period) than you ate. Then, you would lose weight. |

the person is definitely high, eating food no matter what time of day has the same fat/nutrient intake every time, it all depends on how you cook it too. |

I would say high! It's what you eat that is fattening! Although I've been told and try to make it a regular practice, that eating after 6 pm is not good. Most people have down time after 6pm and are less likely to burn off what they eat after that time. |

I don't notice any difference unless I sleep within the first few hours after eating.
Don't eat too close to bed time. That's how i gained a lot of weight years ago. When I started waiting a few hours (even to take naps during the day: you'd be surprised how well naps actually helped, though), I lost a lot of weight.
Pay attention to your body's patterns, though. It might actually vary.
I've always leaned toward odd sleep schedules. Time of day alone never determined my weight gain or loss. Excercise, food choices/portions and sleep habits have. Lack of sleep equals vulnerability to weight gain. I have seen this even on my more strict diets.
Joker1's comment is similar to me. It's usually a bowl of raisin bran at night (after a bowl during the day and a resonable size dinner). Sleep about four hours later. |

Your metabolism slows down at night so yes it is absolutely fattening even more so than during the day. |

Eating food before you go to bed is bad because you aren't working off the calories.
That person is wrong. |

well, if you ate a block of butter before bed that would be, but having a good healthy meal or snack before bed is not.
The person who told you p[robably means that you dont have to not eat before bed, because most people think that you dont burn calories in your sleep...
you do, your breathing and your heart is beating so you need the calories to get you through the night,
so it is ok to eat before bed, I think thats what the person means...
if not, probs high? |

my health teacher said that's a load of bs. whatever you eat has the same effect on you, no matter if you eat it in the morning or at night. |

stoned...food is no more or less fattening at night. |

Personally I can't figure it out. A calorie is a calorie, whether you eat it at 2 pm or 2 am.
Also a calorie burned at 2 pm or burned at 2 am is the same also, so I don't know how much I believe it's such a big deal to eat in the evenings as long as your TOTAL calories for 24 hours is curbed. |

no more fattening than eating at any other time.
its just your daily calorie intake or fat intake or whatever that counts.
when you eat doesnt matter, really.
as long as you burn it off at some point.
i know people always claim it is more fattening, but ive eaten a ton at night on diets and still lost weight.
like,
if you eat 2,000 calories a day and burn 2,000 calories, then you wont gain weight.
doesnt matter when you had those calories.
you may not be burning them off RIGHT AWAY, but as long as you burn them off eventually, it doesn't matter.
trust me.
its fine.
people dont know what theyre talking about. |

He is probably high.
I tried that before. I went to sleep after I ate a cup noodle and the next day. my face looks wider and I look fatter.
I watched TV once and I remember a model said it's not good to eat the 3 hours before you sleep. Of course, she is not any scientist or anything. However, I still believe her that eating before you sleep will definitely make you fatter. |
