If you eat late (after 7PM is a good example) you usually don't do any form of exercise to burn off the calories you eat which can lead to weight gain. If you eat anything late you should make sure it is healthy and low in calories, choose an apple instead of cake for dessert for example, or if you eat a late dinner make it a light one or just a big salad.

Eating before you go to bed? The body has a lot of work to do to digest the food we eat. If we eat late, the body has to overwork to digest it but it can't so it just sits there. It has worked all day and needs rest. It can't rest when it works overtime. You won't sleep well and will gain weight cause the body just can't handle it. So, the answer is, no.

Food needs 3 hours to get absorbed in your system and if you go to bed less than 3 hours after you eat, the digestive system does not perform its function. The consequences are that you start gaining weight in the mid-section.

It depends on what you eat and how you live your life. If you have a night job and the night is your day then its alright, but really if you eat healthy no real fatty food it does not matter what you eat.

Probably because most people become very inactive after that time. Which means that they aren't burning off the energy that they have consumed. Therefore, that energy turns to fat.
Wanna get fat? Bon appetite.

Not eating late in the evening keeps your body from storing excess calories after you have quit being active for the day, and keeps you from storing excessive fat!

AFTER 7 pm THE DAILY CYCLE SLOWS DOWN CONSIDERABLY. THE BODY'S METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN. EATING AT THIS POINT DISTURBS THE NATURAL CYCLE WHICH REPEATS EVERY 24 HOURS.
