There’s an old saying that you shouldn’t eat after 8:00 pm. In theory, this is an adage that doesn’t make sense. Our body consumes and burns calories at the same rate, regardless of what time a day it is. To our bodies, a calorie is a calorie, no matter what time. However, there is some truth to not eating after 8:00 pm, but it is not because our body will process those calories any different than if you eat during the day. The problem with eating later at night is that there are a lot of factors that come into play from earlier in the day, which could make your night time eating detrimental to your diet.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned earlier, eating at night is not inherently bad. Our bodies don’t know what time it is when they chose to burn calories. However, a lot of situations during our day can lead to poor choices and\/or overeating at night. A lot of people turn to food as a way to cope with stress. If stress is a big part of your daily routine, whether it is because of work or family, you need to make sure you are especially mindful of what you’re consuming at night. If you are stressed throughout most of the day, you can create coping mechanisms such as overeating at night when you are winding down from the day.<\/p>\n
Another issue with eating at night is that if you are working in an environment throughout the day which requires you to make a lot of decisions, you end up using up your psychological resources to make good decisions. When your willpower has evaporated, you tend to not stay mindful of what you are consuming. Which could lead to overeating, or making poor choices?<\/p>\n
When you are tired, people tend to crave surgery and high-fat foods. After working a long and stressful day, a lot of people find themselves reaching for sweets when they get home. This is a product of your body feeling worn down after a long day of work, so your mind tells you that you need to refuel your glycogen stores, so you start to crave sugar. Physiologically speaking your body doesn’t need the sugar, but your mind perceives it that you do.<\/p>\n
It is inevitable for a lot of people to eat late, however, you need to stay mindful of the pitfalls that you can find yourself in because of what happened the rest of the day. Here are three tips for eating at night.<\/p>\n
