Nutritional Theory Everyone Should Know About Eating Late At Night

It seems to be of common knowledge that it is unhealthy to eat at night. The idea behind this being that if you’re not going to be active after food intake then you are more likely to store the food as fat.

I would like to pose the question of whether or not this common belief is true. I feel it could be nothing more than a myth repeated many times until it’s deemed as truth. In this article, I intend to take some of the facts into consideration.

Your body will store excess fats that it doesn’t use up. If you generally eat more than your body needs then the excess energy will be stored as fat.

Calories that are burnt are not only the ones that we have just consumed and therefore the idea of us gaining weight due to eating late at night is not true.

It’s also true that our body is constantly burning calories, even when we’re asleep. Simple tasks like, typing, blinking, and breathing all require energy, so our body is constantly at work.

Would you believe that it is a good idea not to eat anything for up to 12 hours straight? Of course not, but that is what you would be doing if you’re not eating at night time as the next time you provide your body with any nutrition will be at breakfast.

It is obvious however to avoid sugary foods late at night, in fact it’s a good thing to avoid these at any time of the day but if eaten at night they will keep you awake for longer and when you finally do sleep your sleep will be a disturbed one.

Getting a good night’s sleep is very important for your health and this shouldn’t be sacrificed but simply know that the information currently in circulation about eating late at night is not entirely correct.
