Does Eating at Night Cause Weight Gain?
Wow, I'm impressed ... nobody's foolin' you!

You're right. It doesn't really matter when you eat, only how many calories you eat and burn in a day. Whether you're eating in the morning or at midnight your body turns any extra calories into fat. In fact, eating a light snack -- like cheese and crackers -- before bed may help you sleep better.
