Late Night Snacks Don’t Add Weight

Giving in to those late-night munchies won’t make you gain weight after all, according to a new study.

“Eating at night is no more likely to promote weight gain than eating during the day,” said study co-author Judy Cameron, a researcher at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University.

…

The finding suggests the common warning against snacking at night is just a popular myth.

“A person’s activity level is a better predictor of weight gain and loss,” Cameron said.

  3. I think the reason a lot of people are told to lay off the late night snacks is because they reach for a bag of chips or milk and cookies.

    Regularly snacking on an apple at night isn’t going to kill your weight loss routine.

    Regularly snarfing a chocolate cake or a bag of twix bars will. Of course, doing that any time of day will probably kill your weightloss.

    Just sayin.
