Hungry in the morning when eating late!

[knekt]

Does anyone here know why you you get so fucking hungry when you wake up, when you had food right before bed?

I've always wondered the same thing.
Also if you were to have a big meal and have a a quick hour or so, you wake up hungary.

If I were to take a guess I would say it had something to do with your metabolism working overtime all night to use up/store the food you ate before bed. By the time you wake up you body is outa food but your metabolism is still goin a mile a minute.

I could be totally wrong but that would be my best guess.

Or because u haven't eaten in about 8 hours or so...

no dmx what they're saying is if you don't eat for a couple hrs before bed you don't necessarily wake up hungry but if you do a pre-bed meal you almost always wake up hungry.

It's the same for me. I think it's because your metabolism speeds up even while you are asleep to assimilate the food.

I have noticed that I get leaner when I eat right before bed too....coincidence? I think not!!!!!

I'm going to have to not slack on the pre-bed meals any more.

try adding fat with protein on your last meal...works for me

dude..

The idea is to cut the fat and not aviod the hunger... eat more, but better.

who said eating fat isnt healthy? put some flax or fish oil caps on your shake, scramble some egg whites with canola, eat some natty PB

Actually Falx Oil gives me such a burst of energy that I can't fall asleep if I eat some before bed!
