About 5 years ago I noticed a dramatic reduction of the muscle mass (Muscle atrophy) in my right calf muscle, like 75% to 80% reduction compared to my Left calf Muscle (possible the gastrocnemius), I also noticed that my Achilles is also very loose, when in a relaxed state, compared to the left leg. What could be the possible problems? There is no pain (other than uneasiness like restless leg syndrome) associated with this problem. I do have a lower back problem (damage) that was done 30 years ago to the L4/L5 herniated disk. Now I have noticed that other muscles are starting to harden and reduce like the one did 5 years ago. I went on a 15 mile hike in the mountains this past summer and I am very active during the day. However I do not regularly exercise as I should. Thoughts?

Does eating late in the evening cause weight gain?

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. ...
