A member asked:

Might getting up in the middle of the night to eat something healhy boost my metabolism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt it!: But it sure will add some calories and help you gain more weight. So it is not advised that you get up in the middle of the night to eat. I can not think of any good medical reasons to do so!
