Top 7 in Top 10 misunderstandings about nutrition.
Some studies show the advantage of reducing fat in people who eat early, and even in those who eat late. In general, people who eat early often have more advantages. However the test cannot reflect real life. In real life, there are two reasons why eating late at night can hinder fat loss, and both are linked to daily calorie gain.
The first reason is simple: If instead of just going to bed, we eat a snack, then the calories from the snack will be redundant.
The second reason is that, when we are tired, we will eat more, usually with snacks or sweets. So if we stay up all night to work or study - or even just to watch TV - we will often eat more, not because of hunger, but to combat sleepiness.
Fact: Eating late does not make you fat, unless it makes you eat more. After a long day you will also find it hard to resist junk food.
