I don't know, I don't have any science behind that decision. I just remember tales of my parents and people saying not to eat a lot right before sleeping and then looking at people around me who routinely eat late at night and they were heavier than others (not in every case, but most).
These would be people who would eat dinner at let's say 6-7pm but then eat something decently sized (sandwiches, left overs from dinner, ice cream, etc.) again at 10:30pm then goto bed around 11pm-midnight.
- balfirevic 7y agoThey also probably routinely eat in the morning too! I think we can safely put put not eating before bed in the same bucket as eating lot of small meals throughout the day. It's not that those things are universally good or bad. It's just that both strategies help some people eat appropriate amount of food, but are totally useless (or worse) for others.
