Default Eating at night

Been going through all my eating logs for the past month and noticed
something; when I eat after 8pm weight loss slows. On seven of the eight
days last month that I ate after 8pm, even as little as a 150 calorie salad,
there was no weight loss the next day. However, every other day of the month
there was a morning loss. The calories on the late night eating days
actually averaged 120 calories less and exercise was about the same.

I've googled the archives and see others have similar issues eating at
night, so maybe this might help someone.

Signed,
Going to bed hungry to lose faster

I don't have empirical evidence like you do, but cutting out after dinner
snacking does seem to make a big difference for me too.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

If you eat late and weigh the next morning, expect weight loss to not show
up. That doesn't mean that *just* eating late at night will slow weight
loss. That, imo, depends on other factors -- such as calories in vs.
calories out, or perhaps carb intake, etc.

If you want to get good data from your logs, you need to look over longer
periods. For example, did your weight loss slow over a weeks time asssuming
you didn't otherwise foul your weight loss efforts?

Yes, it disrupted my weekly totals. I have consistently lost one pound per
day, excepting the days where I ate at night. One week had three such days
and the loss for the week for 4 pounds. At no time did I go over 1600
calories or 15 carbs a day. The only day I ate at night and still lost was
on a day where I installed headers and a dual exhaust system on my
Thunderbird. Replacing an exhaust system that had been in place for 27 years
with just hands tools, a few jacks and WD-40 was quite a workout, so that
may account for the loss on that day.

In no way do I claim a definitive link, just posting an observation and
noting that others have said cutting night eating has broken (real) stalls.

Try drinking as much water as you can stand right before bed. Or taking
your fiber (if you take fiber supplements).
