Is eating at night bad ?
An occasional late night snack is fine as long as you choose healthy foods and you are at a healthy weight. People who work in the afternoons or evenings eat late at night much of the time without any problems. The problem occurs for some people who keep to their healthy diets during the day, but at night they begin to snack and then end up consuming too many calories and their weight goes up. This might just be a habit to eat while watching television or maybe due to sugar or other food cravings. While an occasional night of over-eating may not be too much of a problem for most of us, there is a disorder called night-eating syndrome. People with night-eating syndrome consume at least 25 to 50% of their daily calories after their regular dinnertime, almost every night. Night-eating syndrome patients also tend to also suffer from depression, low self-esteem and obesity. If you find that you eat most of your calories at night and you have diabetes or weight related problems, you need to speak to your doctor.
