We make it easy for you to participate in a clinical trial for Weight management, and get access to the latest treatments not yet widely available - and be a part of finding a cure. Check your eligibility Reasons you may gain weight if you eat before bed Weight gain is the result of an imbalance between the calories you consume and the calories you burn. If you take in more calories than you burn, you have a net positive calorie balance, resulting in weight gain. However, you should be aware that other factors can influence this balance, and eating before bed may be one of them. The basis of the premise that you gain weight if you eat just before going to bed is that your metabolism slows down while you sleep. In theory, this would mean that if you ate exactly the same meal in the morning that you did in the evening, you would expend more calories digesting the meal in the morning versus the evening.¹ ² The end result would be that you have a higher net calorie gain from meals eaten at night. Another study showed that meals eaten in the morning leave you feeling fuller than meals eaten in the evening. If you eat your meals earlier in the day, your total calorie intake for the 24-hour period is likely to be less than if you eat your meals at night, meaning less weight gain.³ Ghrelin is a “hunger” hormone, one of the hormones secreted by your body that makes you feel hungry. If you are stressed, your ghrelin levels rise more than usual at night. This makes it even more likely that you will overeat at night.⁴ ⁵ All of these studies suggest that if you eat a meal at night versus in the morning, not only are you more likely to eat more, but the calories you ingest are more likely to be stored as extra weight. However, recent research has suggested that it might not always be this simple. Read on to discover how you can still enjoy your bedtime snack without gaining weight. Can you eat at bedtime without gaining weight? Most of the original studies looking at eating before bed were done using large, mixed-nutrient (a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fat) meals. New data suggests that the results may be different if you eat a small, single macronutrient (e.g. only protein or carbohydrate) and nutrient-dense snack before bed. In these studies, people did not show significant weight gain when they ate before bed. They also had increased morning satiety, meaning that they felt fuller upon waking in the morning.⁶ The results were even better when exercise was thrown into the mix. Eating a small protein-based snack before bed combined with an exercise program led to increased morning satiety as well as positive effects on insulin sensitivity.⁷ In some cases, eating a small, planned snack before bed actually led to weight loss. The study that showed this compared eating a planned snack of cereal and low-fat milk with free eating before bed. When planning a snack before bed, participants ate, on average, 397 fewer calories per day. This led to an average weight loss of 0.84kg over the trial period.⁸ If you plan your snack carefully, you are less likely to overeat, while still satisfying your hunger pangs.
