Does eating at night cause obesity?

　　Eating at night leads to obesity

　　According to surveys, 4 out of 10 Americans work the night shift, which means many people have dinner very late.

　　Will eating a late dinner lead to obesity because we are unable to burn off these calories while sleeping?

　　Nutritionist Eric Blackberg said: "It depends on the situation, eating very late at night will generally not lead to fat gain, unless you consume significantly more calories than your usual caloric intake that day. But it should be noted that whether eating at night leads to weight gain depends on the type of food you eat. Many people want to have something else to change their taste when having dinner. They will eat some ice cream or fried potato chips. Eating these foods at night often leads to obesity. ”
