the thing is all of my evening meals have carbs in them! so what am i meant to do? have my evening meal at lunch and a sandwhich for dinner?
my sis said she read somewhere that you shouldnt eat carbs after 6pm or anything after 8pm. im quite good at that when im at home but when im at uni at least 3days a week i dont get in til half 7 so unless i have a salad when i get in then i cant stick to that. also, bread contains carbs so having a sandwich at dinner wouldnt help

its something to do with your metabolism stopping when you sleep, so if you eat too late in the day just before you go to bed your food wont have time to digest so the calories wont be burnt up
i tend to have my meals early anyways so that shouldnt be a problem to eat before 6pm! then i tend to snack on fruit, but your saying i cant eat that after 8pm? my downfall is snacking after my evening meal. i just need to dicpline myself. i dont have any snacks food in the house to prevent myself from doing so, so i just snack on fruit. But then sometimes I'll go and bake a loaf of bread and eat it all in oen night with a tub of butter (I really need to stop that!)

Yeah I heard that if you eat late at night the body doesnt digest it, as you say your body shuts down when you go to bed. one of my mates at uni doesnt eat anything until 9pm at night and then shes having chips, kebabs, burgers, and she wonders why she's so fat, there's no way the body was digest all that crap before she goes to bed.
