I ate Ice Cream at 10:45 last night :/

I sort of did a little experiment yesterday. I didn't know it was an experiment until after I did it. I had logged some ice cream that I planned to eat after dinner. Well, the night was busier than I expected SO I didn't eat the ice cream until after things wound down at 10:45. I had weighed myself yesterday in the morning and was already down a pound from my last weigh in. I didn't log it because it hadn't been a week since my last weigh in.

Anyhow, after eating the ice cream I polled my friends to see if they thought I would a) die from eating ice cream after 7pm, b) gain weight, or c) lose weight. There were a few people who said all of the above and that I would also poop.

Lo and behold, I woke up this morning, fully alive at exactly the same weight as yesterday. Was my experiment a success or failure? I think it's a success. The time of day that you eat has no bearing on whether you will gain or lose weight.

    Right!? Haha. Never. Although I had major surgery earlier this year and the pain meds had me all stopped up...once that cleared up there were probably some that were picture worthy. For personal reflection only of course, not for sharing on the interwebz.

    No!!! I'm disillusioned now
    Next you will be telling us that girls fart as well....

    You have broken the rules though - after 10pm ice cream should be applied before being eaten.

    I was familiarized with quite a few places in PA. Went to PSU main campus for a year (yeeaaah, that was a year long vacation pretty much) and my ex is from Chadds Ford.

    Ah, I see, yep, right down the road. I almost went to PSU, but then ended up going to Clemson and spending 5 years on vacation :P

    I couldn't afford a longer vacation, so I left before they told me I had to leave, lol. Though to bring ice cream back into the discussion, Penn State's Creamery is goooooooooooooood

    I've heard. We had one at Clemson too. I worked there the summer after my freshman year. Ice cream for all of my meals! Thankfully I was one of those 95 pound people who could eat anything then!

    That's why I also swallow a watch with my food. I buy cheap Timex watches by the case. Funny, they aren't in the MFP database.

    But what order did it come in

    Eat ice cream
    Poop
    Weigh in

    Eat ice cream
    Weigh in
    Poop

    cause technically you'd be lighter if you poop'd before weigh in since you discharged a 'load'.

    I always poop before I weigh in.

    The time of day that you eat has no bearing on whether you will gain or lose weight.

    Yes it does. There's a switch in your body that turns off your metabolism at night and turns it on in the morning. You should never eat when it is switched off.
