Why is night time eating considered bad?
Question:
Answers:
because after you eat you get energy from the food. you later go to bed and the calories are stored as fat. if you really don't want to gain wieght, you shouldn't eat after 7pm. HOPE IT HELPS!
If you consume a large amount of calories at night you dont have time to burn the calories off. So, your body just converts them into fat. You should be fine as long as you're not eating really ridiculously fat meals at 1am though.
because you eat... then go to bed... and get fat... while in bed
Because typically you go to sleep at night, and if you go to sleep right after you've eaten, your metabolism slows down and there's a chance all that food could get turned into body fat.
Most people agree it's best not to eat for a few hours before your bedtime.
Cuz'...You might mutate into a bad gremlin silly.
They used to say that because you're less active at night, so you won't be able to burn calories that you eat so late. But, really it's an old wives tale, and most educated nutritionists these days would tell you it's not that big of a deal. It's still the same old equation: calories in must be less than calories out to lose weight. It doesn't matter when you eat them.
because most people don't exercise a night so the food just turns to fat.
Generally speaking, at night, there's no time to exercise and you're body will retain the calories and thus the fat more so than if you ate during the day and went about your activities.
b/c ur metabolisim slows waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down i think it is..ur supposed to stop eating @ like 6-7 i think...
cos you've got no opportunity to burn off the calories, and also it just lies on your stomach when you go to lie down and gives you stomach ache.
At night we don't do as much (physically) so we don't burn off the calories. The calories you consume at night and don't burn off turn into fat as we sleep.
It depends on your routine whether or not it's "bad". Overnight, when you're asleep the body still needs energy to keep your heart beating and your lungs working. If you flood the body with energy (from food) before bed, then the energy it needs will be used and all the excess will be stored as fat. That is why some people avoid eating after say, 7pm. Then, all the energy to keep the body going overnight is obtained by slowly burning fat stores.
It's considered bad when you eat right before you go to bed. All that food just sits in your stomach if you just go to bed. However, if you eat late but after eating you do chores around the house, or go out dancing, etc. you will more than likely burn some of the calories you just ate as well as aid in the digestive process. Eating at night in itself is not bad, it's just what you do after that matters.
Hope this helped!
because of all the calories that stay in your body, and by the time you wake up, its gonna be stored as fat
thats why its important to eat in the day and then burn it off at night instead of eating at night..bad idea
It isn't. This is a common misconception, because people tend to overeat on junk food at night. They get insatiable cravings and eat while not being hungry at all. It is a belief that if you don't exercise and use the energy right after eating it...it turns into fat. That is NOT the case!!
So unless you're on a diet for medical reasons...don't worry about it. Eat when you're hungry and until you're full...don't overdo it!
Your eating then lying down for hours.need I say more?
I think because your body is ready to go to bed and if you go to bed right after you eat your body cannot digest it as well.
You go to sleep so soon afterwards which slows down your metabolism so you are more likely to absorb those late night calories rather than burn them off.
because you don't burn as many calories when your sleeping the reason we eat is for fuel if we don't need fuel we should not fill up
It's because when we eat food at night, especially before bed we are essentially condemming it to be absorbed during digestion, as we have no way of burning any of it off.
This is why, particularly for weight loss, it is recomended to include a breakfast as a constant rule, and to try and make it larger whilst making dinner smaller. This is because when you have a big breakfast (providing it isn't too bad for you), you have all day to burn it off.
Also eating before bed makes it harder to relax and go to sleep as our bodies are still busy trying to digest food.
People just carry the guilt a little far. No matter when you eat, your food will digest. Your body actually burns more calories while sleeping.
when you eat throughout the day, you're body is able to digest all of the food you eat because you are in motion, and that is when your body is most active, however when you begin to eat at night your body is slower and wont digest the food you have eaten as fast, therefore your body stores the undigested food as fat... so you gain more weight...
you can get indegestion when you wake up.
when asleep your body dosenot burn as much calories. so if you put down 300 cal before bed than in 2week you have just gained 1lb, there are resent studys i forget where, but they said it was ok, becouse the body will use that as energy for fuel for dreams and repairing the body ect. so realy it is one of those things that gos back and forth.
There has actaully no evidence thats shows eating at night is bad for you are makes you get fat. Your body is not a machine. It doesn't take the food you put in it and immediately convert it into energy, like a car. Its a long process, your body is not running off what you ate this morning, thats still digesting, your actually running off of what you ate last night. So if you eat at night, that food doesn't go to waste, while you sleep its easier for your body to digest food since your not using energy to do anything else. But the only thing about eating at night, is how much are you eating during the day? You can eat at night, you just have to limit your caloric intake during the day time hours.
Well its not so much night time eating, it is eating before you go to sleep. So if you don't go to bed until 4am then go ahead and eat at 10pm. When you go to sleep your metabolism slows way down to conserve energy. That means that the food you ate before you went to sleep gets converted to stored energy (fat) since you aren't using it. Your body either uses the food immediately for energy or it will convert the food to fat to use later.
one reason is your body while it still burns cal. at night it doesnt burn near as many and most of what you eat is stored in fat , plus there has been clinical research at top universities that have shown that night eating leads to depression , but anyway if you get hungry at night and cant resist it eat something light and healthy like a small salad
well night eating is not good because this is the period whereby the food you have consume as to digest but you are loading another food which will be diffiult for the digestive system to digest your food well ,well i advice that you eat very earily like 5 0'clock or 6 o'clock so that the food will digest well so that u will be able to go the toilet the next day and please drink a lot of water before u sleep because it will aid the digest system.
I'm not completely sure.. but I think that it's because when you eat at night, you don't move or exercise so the food that you eat just turns into fat.
It is not necassarily bad if you are active afterwards. Night eating is bad because when you sleep right after you eat, your body doesn't have the time to burn the calories, making you gain more weight.
