Eating at night makes you put on weight?

I heard that if you go all day without eating and have a big meal at night you will put on weight even though you are having the same amount of calories or even less. Is that true?

Answer #1

Generally speaking, yes, due to the fact that your metabolic rate is very low at night while you’re sleeping & your body will transform the excess calories into fat that it doesn’t burn off during digestions or other exercise, which would be a lot of calories if you at a very rich meal high in calories.
