InstaTIP: 3 minutes on why evening eating is (not) a scarecrow

1. Answering the question about whether to eat in the evening or not without context would be as irresponsible as if we firmly stood by the opinion that during menstruation one should under no circumstances exercise. For correctness of the answer, other facts are needed, for example about what your all-day menu looked like, what time you go to sleep and when you usually exercise. Think about it, you'll see, immediately you will be a step closer to the truth.

2. Proponents of the opinion that metabolism slows down in the evening hours fight against evening eating. However, we think that the solution is not to forbid dinner, but correct selection of what gets on your plate. Bloated belly, stomach full of heavy meals, body fighting with carbohydrates – all this spoils sleep just like rumbling in the stomach, hunger and frustration from denying oneself the joy of eating.

3. In the previous point we mentioned carbohydrates. Avoid them before going to bed. That is, unless you are just after training. In such a case definitely treat yourself to them, your body needs it.

4. Some foods explicitly support sleep. Look for a component called tryptophan, which is found in red meat, poultry, chocolate, bananas, milk, oatmeal and various oily seeds.

5. If you are afraid of evening eating, think about what your reason is. Don't want to gain weight? So just distribute calorie intake correctly during the day. Want to have a good sleep? So have something light. But what is main: monitor your body's signals, it is wiser than you can imagine.
