Big, Fat Myth
Nocturnal Feasting Makes You Fat
To avoid unwanted weight gain is to avoid eating at night, right? Wrong, unless the nighttime meal is in addition to already adequate caloric intake during the rest of waking hours. Studies found no link at all between eating at night and weight gain. To avoid gaining weight, calorie intake should be evenly distributed over the day. In other words, when you eat three - or four or five, however many - regular meals, you are not as likely to overeat at any one particular meal or time. While you're at it, remember to burn off as many calories as you take in.
