Terrible to eat after 7pm?

xarge

I've heard it's best to not eat after around 7pm & it helps you to lose weight...

Others say it's beneficial not cause of any weight loss, but cause it gives you a cutoff time to take in your daily calories and not eat carbs too close to bedtime.

I try not to eat too late (latest around 8:30) but sometimes find myself unable to sleep at night and with a hungry tummy that I try to ignore.


Thoughts?

I'm with the majority. I usually have to stay up late for work till morning because of time zone differences with contacts. Eating around 8 pm and working until 5 am without further food is very inefficient for me.

I think only early to rise, early to bed people can use that.

You should eat watermellon - it has only 30kcal in 100gr, it's healthy for you and your kidneys that's what I do after 10pm because I don't think I can lose some weight by eating late and not being able to lose those calories by working out....:) I usually have dinner at 8.30pm

what happens if you dont have any watermelon?

thats fine if you feel better or sleep better or don't like doing dishes without sunlight but it has absolutely no affect on weight loss or metabolism. If you have completed your desired macros by 8 pm, fine. But dont avoid eating after any certain time thinking it will affect your weight loss.

Eating in the evening and trying to stay away from food is one of the reasons of late night craving as well. Especially with simple carb heavy dinners, someone eating at 8 and going to bed at 1 am is more likely to start looking for carbs by then.

I hate going to sleep on a full stomach, it makes me feel bloated and generally sluggish, I don't think it has anything to do with weightloss but I do see better results this way. We generally have dinner around 6.30pm and that's me done for the day.
