That's what common weight-loss wisdom proclaims. Mostly myth—although studies support both sides of the claim. People tend to believe this old myth, for a couple reasons. First, most current research links people with fewer hours of sleep per night at a higher risk of obesity. Eating too close to bedtime can frequently be associated with disrupted sleep. Second, eating close to bedtime could lead to waking up full and not hungry for breakfast. This could lead to meal skipping and then binging later on—another inhibiting factor in losing weight. Overall intake of calories is more important than timing, plus representing protein at each meal and staying away from sugar and carbs. As long as you’re not skipping meals, focus on hitting your goals, no matter the time. Verdict: Mostly Myth
