Is it ok to eat late at night after a work out?

jacquelynnedwards821

I go to work and school full time so the only time I have to work out is
9 pm to 1 am. My work out buddy and I have been going to the gym every night from about 9 to 1 the last 8 days and when I get home I have a boiled egg and piece of chicken. I was just wondering if it's ok to eat that late after my work outs? Any advice is helpful! Thank you!

Sure, egg and chicken have a lot protein

Calorie/macro totals...time has no effect to your fat, only your ability to sleep and cope with late night eating. Sometimes I eat up until 10mij before bed. It doesn't effect me. I am under my calories an therefor accountable. Focus and trends- if it works for you it works for you.

Your working out for 4 hrs?

Are you working out for the full 4 hours what type of exercises are you doing? Are you eating enough cals to fuel that amount of exercise?

Better than going to bed hungry.

absolutely fine to eat before sleeping, been doing it throughout my cutting phase xD

That's absolutely fine.

I'm a monster if I don't eat after a workout. I also can't sleep if I'm hungry. That'd be a double whammy.
The time that one eats is irrelevant. If you're hungry, then eat!
