“Eating before bedtime causes weight gain and obesity, while eating during the day does not cause obesity because the body burns it.” This is what we usually hear, so what is the truth?
The answer is that this claim is wrong, and there is no relationship between the timing of eating and obesity.
Obesity occurs when you take in more calories than you burn and your body stores the excess as fat.
If you eat more than you need during the day, you will gain weight.
And if you eat an amount of calories equivalent to what you burn in a day, you will not gain weight, even if before bed.
Hunger before bed
If you feel hungry before bed, do not starve yourself and eat a protein-rich snack such as light tuna slices or hard-boiled eggs, this will help with sleep.
In fact, eating a healthy snack before bed is better than waking up in the middle of the night hungry, and randomly eating what you find in the fridge.
However, for some people with heartburn, eating before bed can cause heartburn and may interfere with their sleep.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that introducing a large amount of food into your stomach, even if you are hungry, may not be a good idea, as you may feel heavy and tired when you wake up in the morning.
So.. the conclusion:
Eating before bed does not necessarily cause weight gain.. but it may upset your stomach and disturb your sleep.
