For the experts - might waking up in middle of night to eat small healthy snack increase weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exact opposite: It will do exactly the opposite and lead to more weight gain, not loss. Extra calories at any time of day (or nite) just make it more difficult to lose weight. Exercise before bedtime may make you sleep better and burn up extra calories as well. Good luck.
