You eat too much before bed
The amount of protein you need to eat throughout the day should be divided into three main meals, namely breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you miss breakfast or lunch, but you want to compensate at dinner, your body may find it harder to assimilate all the nutrients and this can lead to weight gain. When it comes to your dinner, you need to choose low-calorie and easy-to-digest foods so that you can help your digestion process and improve your weight loss results.
“Generally, if we eat big meals before we go to bed, our body has trouble winding down because there’s still a lot of blood flow required to our stomach for digestion which is disruptive. In a perfect world, if you can resist eating 2-3 hours before going to bed, that’s great so long as you’re not hungry. However, being more realistic, I would aim to have a smaller meal for dinner and eat more during the day, so that eating an hour before bed won’t be as disruptive,” says Smith.
“A lot of times people aren’t eating enough during the day, so they’re really hungry at night,” added Smith.
