night time: when to stop eating?

raevynn

Yes. Stop eating before you go to bed. Don't eat again until you get out of bed.

Yeah, cuz the crumbs are uncomfortable to sleep on.

That, and if you are still eating when you fall asleep, you may choke.

I eat in bed.

Tacos?

Yeah, it's also a good idea to avoid sleep walking and eating while you're asleep too, unless of course you can also manage to log it into MFP and it fits into your daily calories/macros.

what to eat at night time other then fruit?

when to stop eating before bed?

fat free milk...and dairy...whey powder. I like skim milk or 1% late at night cause its a slower releasing protein than whey and its low on the glycemic index as well. There is no definitive proof in regards to reducing calories later in the day...but i think for some its a good idea...you'll just have to try some different ways for like 2 weeks and see what you look like/weigh after each week or 2 and decide weather carbs are good for you closer to bed time or not.

There is no real reason you have to stop eating at a specific time before sleep when it comes to weight loss.

That said, some people have to be careful due to other reasons. For myself, I try not to eat within an hour and a half to two hours before bed. This is because I have, in the past, had issues with heartburn. So, I do what I can to prevent it from happening. If I do have to eat closer to bed time, I find I have better luck with dairy based products.

Depends on when I sleep...

If it does not affect your sleep there is no reason to stop at any specific time. I will eat right up to bedtime and on rare occasion, in bed. :bigsmile:

Time had nothing to do with it, if you are worried about gaining wait. It's all about maintaining a deficit. You can eat at 2am and wake up at 4am and see a weight gain on the scale and that's only cause your body has not burned it off yet BUT that does not mean you have gained weight.

Usually a good morning poop will fix that.
