Fats, proteins and carbs

Is eating fatty food at night actually bad, or is it fine sometimes? πŸ˜…

It’s not the time of day that makes fatty food β€œbad” β€” it’s mostly the portion size and your total daily calories. But a few real-life caveats:

  • Big fatty meals late can mean heaviness, heartburn, and sleep that feels like you swallowed a brick. 🧱
  • If your daily calories are on target, some fat at dinner is totally fine.
  • Be extra careful if you deal with reflux/heartburn, gallbladder issues, or you notice fatty dinners make you feel rough.

Make dinner more sleep-friendly:

  • Keep fats moderate (not a whole pan of bacon… even if it’s tempting πŸ˜„).
  • Pair with protein + veggies: fish/chicken/tofu + salad/veg.
  • Choose β€œbetter fats” more often: olive oil, nuts, avocado, fatty fish (still watch the amount).
  • Try to eat 2–3 hours before bed.

How to use our app for this πŸ“±:

  • Log your dinner and check calories + macros (especially fat).
  • If the app shows daily targets for fat/calories, use them: a fattier dinner can fit if earlier meals were lighter.
  • Pro tip: save 2–3 go-to dinners as templates to log faster and stay consistent.

If you tell me what time you go to bed and what you usually eat at night, I can help you tweak it πŸ˜‰
