Evening Eating Myth

Eating late at night makes you fat - true or false?

THIS IS FALSE

It does not matter when you eat, it only matter what and how much you eat. If you eat more calories than you burn, then the extra will be stored as fat. This is true whether you eat at night or not.

Athlete nutrition isn't just about weight loss. It is important to fuel the body optimally before, during and after exercise, as well as to stay hydrated. Supplements may also be required.
