Soo it's finals week and everyone's super stressed and there's no time to sleep and we wanna go home and yadda yadda yadda. All this usually results in late night snacks for me. For a while I've heard that you shouldn't eat late night snacks because you end up gaining more weight. Fortunately I found this article where Julie Bender, a dietician with Baylor University Medical Center debunks a bunch of food myths. She states that there are no "magic hours" and that we associate late night eating with weight gain because we don't eat enough during the day so we have to consume more calories at night. However, late night snacks tend to be junk foods.
