Should I Eat After 7pm? The Truth You Need to Hear


Listen Later

You've probably heard the "rule" that you shouldn't eat after 7pm if you want to see results. Maybe you've even felt guilty grabbing a late snack, like the clock itself was going to derail your progress. But here's the truth: your body doesn't own a watch.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm breaking down the real science behind nighttime eating so you can finally stop stressing over the clock and start focusing on what actually matters for your goals.

We'll cover:

  • Why calories aren't magically stored as fat after 7pm

  • The difference between one late-night snack and a nightly pattern of overeating

  • How macro counting clears up the confusion about timing

  • When digestion and sleep might benefit from setting a food "cutoff"

  • How to tell the difference between true hunger and emotional eating at night

By the end, you'll know exactly how to approach eating in the evening without guilt, stress, or confusion — and how to make late-night choices that align with your body and your goals.
