Why is it that we (want to) eat more in the evenings?

EmmaMay93

I wake up, and I'm never hungry. I do eat throughout the day, but in the evenings I tend to snack more even after an evening meal. Why is this?

I wanna know the answer to this one too.

For me,I get to watching TV, seeing the commercials on food and such tends to make me want to eat. Also, boredom plays a big role, or you think your hungry and your really not which would be emotional eating! I know I'm feeling lonley all the time so good reason for some Ben & Jerry's right?! "NOT" I fight this almost every night. I suppose it's something we are going to have to learn to control and I know, it's an on going battle. Night time is the worst for me as well. Hang in there!

Thank you! That does make sense, I guess everyone is busy during the day time, and so you easily have something to distract yourself with, but in the evening we relax from work etc. Congratulation on the over 100lb weight loss by the way!!!!

I don't know but I'm guilty! Right now I'm thinking how delicious almost anything sounds...I'm not hungry, but I'd eat almost anything right now. What the hell.

boredom, relaxation and thinking about food, and also for me it's knowing i wont be able to eat for a long time so id better get it all in now! Dumb, I know
