Is it okay to eat fruit past 8pm?

If you eat after 8PM, the energy from the food fuels your body during the night... and then during the day your body doesn't have that fuel so it pulls energy from the aether instead.
No, it's true! This is how you can produce free energy from the vacuum and turn a human body into a perpetual motion machine.lol not its not ok to eat ANYTHING after 8pm. it sits in your stomach and as you sleep your body spends time breaking that down instead of breaking down your fat because believe it or not you burn calories while you sleep
This is 100% a myth.
Okay okay... I'm not a scientist... but what you're saying is, if I stop eating after 8pm, I'll never have to sleep?
Right this is common knowledge...and when your body does not have fuel it goes into starvation mode which can only be reversed by drinking one gallon of raspberry ketones...
Okay... It's starting to come together... But I've heard that if you don't drink the raspberry ketones in 8 oz increments the excess fluits will automatically turn into fat molecules. Is this true? Or is it okay to drink the gallon all at once?
ummm I just checked page ten of Dr Oz's raspberry ketone while doing handstand cleanse, and yes this is correct 8oz increments or the excess fluids turn into fat molecules which automatically converts your muscle to fat...and trust me, you don't want that to happen....0 -
A blog I read foodbabe.com recommends fasting 12 hours per day (e.g. If you're waking up at 6 am to eat breakfast, stop eating at 6 pm). I try to follow that rule of thumb so for your case it would depend on when you intend to eat again.0

Really O.o? I literally just learned that your body puts ATP into temporary reserves and after about eight hours or so if it is not used up it is deposited as fat for long-term storage.. therefore if you eat sleep directly after it (even though sleeping and just existing does burn calories) you'd have a surplus of ATP which your body assumes you don't need immediately.
And from what I understand, sugars/monosaccarides/carbohydrates all go through glycolysis/krebs cycle/oxidative phosphorylation as well as proteins and lipids (though they join in at a later point)... so it shouldn't matter what you eat it all ultimately gets converted into ATP in one way or another which would be stored (converted?) long-term as fat if there was a surplus of ATP (energy).
I'm not saying "No you're wrong, it's not a myth," I'm legitimately curious as to what made you think it was a myth? My current understanding supports it, but university-level bio isn't necessarily the most reliable source xD and I'd love to be corrected now rather than keep this knowledge into a medical career and find that I was misinformed.
If you burn 500 more calories in a day than you took in, where does the excess 500 calories (the ones you didn't eat that day) come from?0 -

Wow, I'm glad I checked with you before I started! This weightloss thing is so complicated...0 -
Fruits contain sugar. The body's biggest production spurts of growth hormone occur during the early hours of sleep, and high blood sugar levels inhibit growth hormone release. Cottage cheese should be fine before bed though.0

That's hilarious0

Fruit is not the best before bed option because of the high sugar count. If you're hungry before bedtime, I suggest getting casein protein from your health food store and having that before bed. It is a slowly absorbed protein that will keep you full during the night and help with muscle recovery. It will not cause you to bulk up or anything like that.0

I want to eat some pineapples or honeydew melon slices or maybe an apple but idk if its okay considering that its late.
If it's within your caloric intake and it fits your macro nutrient goals, why not? Nothing magic happens at night. I'd personally go with the lower glycemic food, i.e. the apple but in the end it's not that big a deal.
nothing magic happens at night? I thought that was when Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, et al come out???? My dreams have been shattered....
My 3 year old believes in the rock fairy. I don't know where she got that idea from, but she's convinced all she has to do to get new rocks is to leave ones she doesn't want under her pillow at night.0 -
I am completely dumbfounded by the sheer stupidity of some people who give advice on here sometimes. I thought I'd had my fill of it on Facebook last night..... but this one is placing 1st.
Can I ask...those of you who said it's NOT ok to eat after 8pm...... how on earth did any of you lose weight to begin with? I mean it's after 8pm here...actually it's after 9pm here & if any of you are now eating then STOP..... you will put on weight. :noway: Oh wait...you mean me eating after 8pm? Well here I am enjoying 2 eggs, a banana, flaxseed, peanut butter & crispbread.
Oh crap....I am in trouble.0 -

dont do it.... look what happened to mogli when he was fed after midnight....0 -
Honestly, it comes down to math. Calories in versus calories/out. If you consume more than what you want to eat calorie wise - you will eventually gain. Eating a fruit which is low calorie anyway will not make a difference. I've eaten unhealthy snacks and I've been losing weight.
I haven't been eating well... for my diet. I'm still eating my pizza, but yet I've been losing weight. Last night for example I had 4 slices of Hungry Howies pizza and we had the pizza around 8:45pm (they are low on calories for pizza - only 190 a slice) and I was still under my 1200 goal.
Get up this morning - weigh myself and found I had dropped a pound. Not sure if my diary is public, but feel free to look at it though.
Oh and p.s. if this post didn't make 100% sense., i'm sorry...I am going to the oral surgeon and I had to take ativan and they said it could make you loopy0 -

Your post made perfect sense...... and even if you were 'loopy' it's still be better than some of the posts. :flowerforyou:0 -
Honey Badger don't care what time he eats. Neither should you!0

Those guys at GNC really worked you over well didn't they.
I eat peanut butter then some ice cream before bed. Is this going to hurt me in your opinion?
I also eat 2k calories routinely before bed consisting of ice cream, 3-4 servings of fruit, pop tarts etc. (with other food too of course)0 -
Yes, as long as it doesn't then cause you to over eat.
Do whatever is easiest for you to remain in a calorie deficit, be that eating fruit or not, after whatever time.
That is a personal thing.0 -
Melon and pineapple would be fine as they grow on the ground but apples should be eaten in the morning as they come from trees.
We should be eating from trees in the morning, bushes/shrubs in the afternoon, the ground in the evening.
I think it's in the bible.0 -

fruit in your stomach overnight will ferment and you'll wake up drunk the next morning. then you'll have to drive to work drunk and risk a DUI and you'll have to do your job drunk and risk being fired. do you really want to risk killing people on the road and losing your job just because you waited until 8:01PM to eat your fruit? seems pretty selfish and dangerous to me. >:(
PS - just kidding of course. when you eat does not matter in the least.
Hilarity ensued! 0 -

You're quickly becoming an expert at never adding anything productive.
We're all here for the same reason.0 -

You might want to stop flinging stones about all willy-nilly. Glass repair can be very expensive.

Unfortunately your fruit eating window closes at 8 PM...Fortunately the ice cream window opens!0

Although eating before you sleep if you are under your calorie goal deficit will not be an issue, from personal experience... it's honestly not the best idea to eat 2-3 hours before you sleep. I don't know all of the scientific reasoning behind it so I cannot explain it to you all, but having food in your stomach digesting while you sleep is just a no no ... DARE I SAY, it may be linked as a cancer causing issue.0

Okay all you people that don't eat after 6 or 7 or 8. Where do you people work?! How are you off work, home, and fed by these earlier times?! I don't even get home until 7 - I eat dinner sometime between 7:30 and 9:30. People have too much free time on their hands if they're not eating in the evenings.0

the reason people will quit fruit after dinner time is due to the high sugar content. you can certainly eat after 8pm, especially if you are weight lifting! you will always be hungry and you will need to feed those muscles
instead of fruit go for some casein protein powder mixed with plain greek yogurt or some low fat/low sodium cottage cheese with some organic powdered peanut butter mix. casein at night 0 -

Say wha? I still don't understand.0 -
Who knows, maybe one day OP decides to take up bodybuilding. So let's say you believe by eating in the evening you maintain muscle better and you have also taken an interest in fasting and your eating window is the evening hours. Would you eat fruit at the beginning of the window or simply skip fruit altogether? Fruits that digest quickly or maybe some too that are a bit slower? Fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit, a completely different form of fruit? And which of this would adhere to the notion that to be fit and healthy you need to eat good food, the meaning of expression You are what you eat.0

lol not its not ok to eat ANYTHING after 8pm. it sits in your stomach and as you sleep your body spends time breaking that down instead of breaking down your fat because believe it or not you burn calories while you sleep
What everyone else has said - meal timing is irrelevant. Enjoy your fruit!
