Does eating late in the evening cause weight gain?

1 Answers

Dr. Vrinda Goyal answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

It is best not to have the largest meal of your day after 8 pm at night. The reason being is you will not use all the calories you have just consumed, some or most of it will be stored as fat. It is better to eat heavier meals earlier in the day where the calories will be used for activities during the day. If you overeat at any time of the day, you will gain weight.

Feel free to ask more questions.
