When I get home from work I go for about a 2 hour bike ride. By the time I come home and make dinner and eat its about 9. I read its better to fuel after a work than before but I hate eating so late. Its usually a protein and veggies. Any suggestions? I feel like eating this late is not good for weight loss.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

It is also set on day n night lite timing. it also works by seasons.
That's the facts.
we should not eat after 5 PM. however aprox 1 to 2 hrs before I go to bed I have oat meal r baggo something that is heavy n will keep me feeling full.
It's the bear in me.
I know that we get a better work out when we have pasta/rice n some tupe of protein befor we go to gym.
My bed time is 9PM. I will have something that weighs heavy n is slow to digest. this keeps n=me filling full when I sleep. I'm less incline to plow thur foods during so called mid night refg raid.
When I was young I always had to take a mid day nap. Even in school we had nap time. we always had milk before nap time, n after school we always has an snack. as adult I get sleepy n somewhat hungry during these times.
I never did grow out of the need of mid day nap.
My day starts at 4AM. your day may start after 9AM so I can see why such a late heavy meal.
It is best not to go to bed w Full stomack. I keep some type of fruit n ice water on my night stand.
For sweet treat. 1 of things I like is:
Snack pac pudden is 100 cal.'s. a small banana is aprox 100 cal.'s. combined n enjoy.
To me original fiber one cereal is sweet. as will as homemade trail mix.
chocolate. refg bag/box. have 2 bite size pc.'s., savory. let chocolate melt in mouth w/o chewing.
same w any n all type of foods, enjoy, savor the flavors.
One study said that calories eaten between 11 PM and 5 AM when clearly the body should be sleeping and not eating, cannot be processed well and will be stored as fat.
It probably depends on the individual.
I need to eat something containing starch or sugar at bedtime or I lie awake for hours and my brain is on "high alert". While I don't go overboard with bedtime eating, I must eat something.
Experiment and see what the best schedule is for you. Good luck.
