There is nothing special or magical that happens to calories at night to make them more fattening. 100 calories at 10 PM is the same as 100 calories eaten at 10 AM so nighttime eating only becomes a barrier to fat loss only if you end up eating more calories than you should be to maintain a calorie deficit. But what’s more important is, to be honest with yourself about what is your motivation behind the nighttime eating. All of us have either personal experience or experience through clients of nighttime snacking being used to stuff down feelings of boredom, loneliness, unhappiness. Or in fact, any other feeling that is uncomfortable to sit with and may require you to admit that there is deeper rooted problem driving your nighttime eating. In this episode, we cover a wide range of ideas to help you overcome the night time munchies including; ⠀ 🌙 Budget calories for a nighttime snack. If you prefer eating at night, then do it!
