There isn’t much research on nighttime snacking specifically. But studies suggest that eating more at night is linked to unhealthy eating habits.
One review found that people who eat more at night tend to eat higher-calorie, less healthy foods like sweets, sugary drinks, and fast food. They’re also more likely to skip or delay breakfast and eat larger portions later in the day. Even when eating the same amount of calories, people who eat more at night are often more likely to be overweight and have metabolic health issues. สมัครสมาชิก UFABET

Eating at night, especially mindlessly, can be unhealthy if you snack on sugary, greasy, salty, or high-calorie foods. This might lead to weight gain, upset stomach, or poor sleep.
