Question: To eat or not to eat?
I have heard that eating less than 2 hours before going to bed is bad for you. I have heard a massive amount about starvation mode. I have dealt with anorexia in my past, but have lost all the weight I wanted or needed to in a healthy way with MFP. I am on maintenance and trying to build muscle, but if I lose much more I…
