Will this make me fat in the long term?

Question

I have dinner at 7.30pm normally. But twice a week, I have it at 8.30pm. This is inevitable because of my work schedule.

I sleep at 11pm everyday and wake at 7am. I'm wondering if the late dinners will make me fat? Should I sleep later (12am) if that's the case?

No it wont, it doesn't matter what time you eat your meals, your body does not know or care what time it is and weight gain only happens if we eat more than we burn, it has nothing to do with the timing of our meals.

A lot of people buy into the myth that eating late causes weight gain but it truly doesn't, there is absolutely no need to make any changes at all.

Meal timing has no impact on weigh gain. If you don't go over your maintenance calories for the day you will not gain weight. Pure and simple.

it won't make you fat but research suggests not going to bed until 4 hours AFTER you have eaten

DeAnne · Answer

no because you are active the rest of the time.
