Q&A: Late Night Snacks and Weight Gain
Q: Do you believe that eating late at night causes weight gain?
A: GREAT question - and a lot of confusion about this topic. Eating at night does not cause weight gain - eating too many calories at night (or any other time during your waking hours) is what packs on the pounds. Many people do well with 3 meals, and 2 snacks each day - calorie controlled to keep you around a total of 1400-1600 calories (for weight loss - it varies for each individual). While some people eat dinner, and are "done" for their eating day, many people like an evening snack.
