Is eating late at night bad for you?

Question

My mom always says that, but I really never believed her and I still dont! ;) Can it make you gain weight? Thanks! :D

Answer 1

Yes, the Fat & Calories just lay there and are not burned off.

Answer 2

my mom says the same thing and i believe her. i have a friend that started eating late at night and she got relle fat(she was slim before)

Answer 3

I heard on Tyra Banks Show that if you eat after 8pm you gain weight but Tyra said it was a myth...

Answer 4

People believe this because you are less active at night then you are during the day. They think work and all the stress burns the calories. Poor eating habits and no excersize cause weight gain--along with thyroid problems, hormones, stress.......

I eat at night and I maintain my weight just fine. No, I am not obese. I am 5'5 and 130 pounds.  

Answer 5

You should eat a small meal like bread and juice. But if you have a big meal and go right to bed. Thats not good

Answer 6

yes, you are not supposed to eat after 6pm

Answer 7

If you eat and then go striaght to bed the food is not being metabolised in any way - so yes, it will make you put weight on.

Answer 8

Eating late at night is not bad for you. As long as you eat and then you go to bed a hour after(because when you sleep your body doesn't burn up what you eat) you will be fine.

Answer 9

yes it is because if u eat at night you body doesnt dijest the food and all that u just ate turns into pure fat...... but i do it anways lolz

Answer 10

eating anything past 10:00 pm just turns straight to fat

Answer 11

Yea eating late or near the time you are planning to go to sleep is somewhat bad because the food you eat is not digested properly while you are sleeping. I wouldnt say it would make you gain a terrific amount of weight though. The best way to eat is to start with big meals for breakfast then eat less for lunch and even less for dinner. If not that just try to eat an earlier dinner if you know you're gonna chow down on lots of grub hehe.
