I am 30 year male can eating late snacks be bad for my health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the snack: In general it is not wise to eat close to bedtime because of increased risk of reflux and because it takes energy for us to digest food and our bodies can't get as complete a rest if we are digesting during sleep. But this depends mostly on the type of snack; things like organic fruit or nuts are healthy. Things like chips (anything fried) or sweets are not healthy to eat at any time of day.
