Does eating late at night cause weight gain?

I have a habit of snacking quite a bit after dinner, especially when I'm watching TV late at night. My friends tell me this is a major reason for my weight gain. Does eating late at night cause weight gain?

It is always better to get your metabolic health checked by a doctor. Sudden weight gain from late eating can sometimes indicate underlying hormonal issues.

I feel so anxious when my work shift ends late and I have to eat after 10 PM. Does anyone else feel like they bloat up instantly the next morning?

Beta, try to eat light things like khichdi if you are late. Keeping the stomach light at night is very good for your health and keeps the body fit.

Don't believe people who say skipping dinner is the solution. It is best to verify with a doctor or nutritionist who can guide you based on your body type.
