Like many things in the nutrition world, it’s complicated.
. Because of this, I typically recommend eating larger meals at least two hours before bedtime for optimal digestion and the least likelihood of it messing with your sleep.
Of course, if you go to bed hungry, that’s not great for your sleep either. That’s why, if you consistently find yourself hungry before bed, I would want to zoom out and assess what’s happening during the day at your mealtimes. Bedtime hunger may be an indication that you’re not eating enough during the day. As a result, your body may be trying to compensate right before bed by taking in extra energy to make up for what it missed earlier.
With intuitive eating, instead of labeling nighttime hunger as “bad,” the focus shifts to how you’re feeling during mealtimes. Are you satisfied physically and mentally? Are you making food choices that reflect your unique needs, instead of what social media is telling you to eat? For people with a history of dieting and food restriction, intuitive eating can take time to adopt—and that’s where flexible nutrition guidelines come in.
Here are a few questions I recommend you ask yourself if you keep feeling famished as bedtime approaches:can set the tone for meal timing throughout the rest of the day. That’s because it helps your digestion get going early in the morning, which in turn influences hunger levels for the hours to come. Waiting several hours until your first meal can also result in feeling hungrier later in the day, which can affect eating into the later hours.
If you’re not used to eating in the mornings or don’t have much of a road map for when you eat throughout the day, breakfast can be a challenge. Initially, it may feel like you’re forcing yourself to eat without being hungry . However, with practice, your body will likely adjust. What’s more, you don’t have to eat a huge breakfast, especially if you’re not feeling it. You can start with smaller meals or a hearty snack instead of going all out with eggs, toast, and fruit.
