A member asked:
Why do i get so hungry in the middle of the night even though i had a good snack of cottage cheese, fruit and some nuts right before bed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because of your snac: You bedtime snack increases your blood sugar, and as that returns to normal later during the night, it makes you hungry. There is no medical or health reason to have a bedtime snack. It only increases your weight which is harmful.
