Common conclusions
In general, your metabolism tends to be higher throughout the day as you're active and will tend to do more work as opposed to evenings or night. Hence, you will burn more calories when you eat throughout the day instead of at night, so if you can, it is best you wait until morning to eat.
If you're looking to lose weight, avoid eating late at night because your body is inactive during this period and you will burn a lot less. The remaining calories will get accumulated in your body as fat and this can impede your weight loss journey. For this reason, make it a point to consume the bulk of your calories in the morning and avoid eating after sunset.
If you had skipped meals due to work or personal commitments or sometimes even due to travel, feel free to eat late at night as you may be famished and your body would need the required calories to even carry out its basic activities. That said, never make it a habit and let this be a one-off incident. During all other times, wait till morning.
People who suffer from diabetes or any other glucose-related diseases need food at regular intervals to ensure that their blood sugar levels don't go down or up too much. If you have any of these issues, you can eat a late-night meal but stick to the minimal quantity. If you can wait though, move it to the morning.
even if you tend to eat late at night, focus on what you eat. When you watch TV or browse on your phone, you will tend to eat more than what you should and this could pile up the pounds quickly. Instead, stop these distractions and focus on only eating. Chew slowly, so you'll feel full soon and you'll end up eating less.
Great! Continue doing so and choose healthy snacks that are good for your body and won't pile on pounds quickly.
If you're not aware of what you eat, it can have serious ramifications for your health. First off, you'll put on weight as you're likely to eat more calories than you should. When you're absorbed in something else and don't keep track of how much you eat, this is highly likely to happen. More importantly, it can affect your health and lead to lifestyle-related diseases like heart attacks and diabetes. So, be mindful of what you eat, so you'll count the calories.
