RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

The body slows down how fast we burn cal near bedtime, because it knows we're not consuming during sleep. So eating later at night is ONLY ok if we haven't reached our daily cal limit. If we haven't, we can have a SMALL snack (Ex: unsalted/raw nuts, raw veggies with hummus, fruit). Avoid high sugar drinks & bread/pasta/rice/oats late because they digest quickly & spike blood sugar = body fat gain.
