i used to. not anymore.

it's true that if you eat late night snacks, you will get fat more easily because after you eat those snacks, you go to bed, and your body metabolism can't burn off the excess fat/calories/whatever.

it depends, when i'm hungry or bored, then i eat...i don't know if it makes you fat or not ermm.gif
KELLYYY
I always eat at night. But I don't get any fatter. Is it maybe because I run at gym everyday? _unsure.gif
heyyfrankie
the only time i might eat a midnight snack is if i didn't eat that much dinner if i am just really board. and i can believe that if you a midnight snack you have more of a chance to get over-weight.

Thats actually been proven to be false. Your body burns its calories no matter what time of day you take them in. But say if you go over your caloric intake for the day by snacking then you wnt burn it. So yeah, eat all you want whenever you want just dont go over your 2000 or 1500 or whatever for the day.

And yes, I snack at nite all the time. I love having a bowl of cereal in the middle of the nite.

Ah, only if I'm hungry. :P
aera
i eat late night snacks on fridays and saturdays.

yeah i heard that it will make u fat...although it makes no sense to me...its just eating at night, if u ate the same amount during the day, it really wouldn't matter, would it?? i never eat late at night...since i go to sleep around 9:30 lol..i hear that its good for you to eat cereal if you do eat late at night, though, helps you burn more calories or something?..
miss barnes
yea i do...i know i shouldnt but, thats when i'm hungry

I only eat late night snacks whenever I stay up to watch TV - and that's once a blue moon. So rarely.
mzkandi
I eat late night snacks almost every night.
toodlepops.
No, not really. I really don't have the mood to eat at night
tootsie_kiddo
it's easier to gain weight if you eat later in the night. but i eat snacks right before i sleep :P
sheddingtears

elmogurly

I always eat midnight snacks! I usually eat cookies or chips or even icecream. OR PEANUT BUTTER M & MS!!
danielle_x3
yes i do. all the time. and it makes you fatter because you're eating at night when you're about to sleep, and you wouldn't be able to burn off the calories. breakfast is called the most important meal of the day because you can burn off the food you eat throughout the day :)
reflection
i don't
Im So Vain
I heard that to, so thats why I stopped.

I don't eat late night snacks. I usually just drink some milk/water before I go to bed though. I think it's supposed to make you more fat cause .. you're not burning that fat off or something.
nerdxcore
yeah, sometimes if i miss dinner i'll eat late night snacks. (my parents tend to go out to dinner EVERY night of their lives and most of the time i hate going with and i wont want their left overs.) i don't think it'll make you fatter though. huh.gif
`SWTWiNKLE3YES

5ayuri
