Hey guys, so today I want to talk really quick about how eating late at night does not make you gain body fat. And this is a pretty common thing that's talked about in the fitness world and it's always thrown around by people to give advice. But it doesn't matter what time of day you eat your food, you eat your calories, you can eat it early in the morning, you can eat it late at night. The only thing that makes you gain weight is an excess of calories and Not enough activity or working out to help balance out those calories. So You can eat late at night. I would say it's not the healthiest thing still to be doing Only because when we eat late at night and then we go to bed pretty soon after our body is processing the food So it takes a little bit to break it down so your body temperature rises and you just have Poor sleep quality. So that's really the only thing that happens when you eat late at night But yeah, it doesn't make you gain weight So I want to hear your thoughts about this in the comments and if anybody's ever told this to you.

It is obviously a myth that if you eat late it's going to make you gain weight what's important is about the quality of the food another time of the day you're having it

This is good this is good because I literally posted something about me eating late a couple days ago and I got mixed answers so I just have no choice but to eat late because I work out really late so I am but I usually sleep maybe two hours after eating so I think I'm still OK so yeah

I'm so happy that you are shedding some light on this because you're absolutely right. It's definitely one of those big myths that people hear pretty frequently.

I agree Mallory I'm in school and I'm learning about basal metabolic rates and I do see in myself since working out for like five months consistently that mine has changed so yeah this is definitely not true because our bodies are hungry for reasons no matter what time of the day

Yes, this is a common misconception. I don't know where it originated from but I used to believe this until one of my friends told me that it's not true so low key surprised.

I think it does not apply to everyone. There are some people that could be more sensitive to gaining weight due to like their metabolism and if they have insulin resistance or not. So I think it depends on the person and their health.

Well I would say the only way that it does is if you eat don't let your food digest would you like to eat and lay down and yeah you're gonna do you gonna start seeing some change in your weight

Nope I don't think so but it does take longer or a while to digest

Yeah man Ian after like 10 pm whatever country you're in the arse and get me to gain weight man specially living in the UK that's how are actually went up to 94 kg and yeah I didn't help because I wasn't going gym et cetera but yeah if you eat after 10 pm yeah you're bound to be fat no matter what anyone says because you've Gotta get at least 23 hours for your body to digest food properly

Hey guys, Naysim certified personal trainer here and I'm gonna have to agree with Laura Ortiz With her saying that it's not about what time you eat, but more so about the quality of the food that you're eating If you're gonna eat really late at night, I know somebody else said on here that they work out really late Just make sure that you are feeding yourself with a low glycemic meal. So that's gonna be one of your protein shakes or definitely just something low glycemic.
