The Journal, Obesity, featured an Article in April 2013, that stated the body's internal clock, the circadian system, increases hunger and cravings for sweet, starchy and salty foods in the evenings.
Sugar tolerance is impaired in the evening and that can lead to more energy storage rather than burning.
Artificial light has us staying up later and sleeping less.
Combine the two together and you have a huge recipe for potential weight gain.
"If weight loss is a goal, it's probably better to eat your larger, higher-calorie meals earlier in the day," said Shea. "Knowing how your body operates will help you make better choices. Going to bed earlier, getting enough sleep and choosing lower-calorie foods rather than higher-calorie foods in the evening can all help with weight loss."
Check out the whole article, "What triggers those late night snack cravings".
