I'm trying to lose weight but I love eating at night. As long as I count cals, can I eat at night?

    I'm pretty sure most of us don't have to worry about undigested food when we go to sleep. We're not going to have to worry about throwing up in the cockpit in eight hours.

    Beliefs are not the same as facts. A good source for information is a peer-reviewed journal articles, such as those found at PubMed. Here is an example of a journal article:

    ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4425165/

    References from Dr. Oz, Mercola, Huffington Post, websites that sell suplements, etc. are NOT good sources of facts.

    What about fighter pilots? Are they good sources? They have those cool names, and they look pretty good playing beach volleyball, at least from what I can recall from Top Gun...

    But they apparently don't science.

    What? This makes no sense. Your body is an incredibly efficient, multi-tasking machine. If it weren't, we wouldn't be able to breathe, think, digest, chew bubble gum, and walk down the street typing responses to strangers on internet forums all at the same time...

    Whatever you say. Eat at night because our bodies are magical.

    I eat almost all my calories after 6:00 p.m. I always sleep good and I'm down to about 10 pounds from my goal weight. I am magical!

    It wasn't his fault! There is no way he could have predicted or avoided that spin!

    Maybe he wasn't thinking clearly because he was fatigued from eating too late at night.

    To assume or even think the body can only run one function at a time basically negates everything Ppl know about biology. The body is very good at multitasking and doing the processes that are required.

    Chill, Daverick. Your ego is writing checks your body can't cash because it's busy digesting food.

    Your misconceptions stem from a belief that the body is somehow compose of on and off switches. That is not in any shape or form how the body's reactions work. It is all a matter of chemicals causing cascading chains of reactions at different rates. We don't completely stop and start various things, we go from low to high states. I mean, most people never truly go to bed with an empty digestive system. Most digestive transit is 24 hours or more barring sickness. By your reasoning, people would need to spend a day or more fasting to get themselves into a proper rest state.

    You think more than a billion years of evolution couldn't have figured out the metabolic equivalent of walking and chewing gum at the same time?
