Late night eating?
Welcome to a brand new week.
Today's topic is late night eating. Late night eating has
been looked at as something that should be banned, it's no good
for you, you'll gain weight, blah blah blah.
Many people write on forums about how you shouldn't eat late
at night all because they heard it on an episode of Oprah.
How do I know? I saw the episode too.
When it comes to weight loss there are a lot of principles
to help manipulate how effective you can be at losing weight
BUT you'll always see no matter what book you read the following
"Calories in versus Calories Out". In simple terms basically
if you're taking in less calories than your body puts out, you
get weight loss.
So if weight loss is related to calories in and out does it
matter if really when you eat? I'm just thinking aloud but think
with me. Let's say you need to eat 1500 calories/day to lose weight
successfully and ate 500 calories for the day before your "last meal"
will you really not lose weight?
Yes you really won't lose any weight, that's if your last meal is over
1000 calories. If the calories in versus calories out is in order,
and you're eating less than you take in then you should lose weight.
So what does this all say about the theory of eating late
at night is no good for you? It's not entirely true if
you're still at a caloric deficit. Are there foods you
should avoid while eating late at night? Absolutely and that
will be addressed tomorrow.
