What should I eat at night to lose weight?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It's not just what you eat at the night that helps in weightloss but the overall calorie intake throughout the day matters. Keep your dinner small, protein rich and light and give 2 hr gap between dinner and bed time.

I'm working night shifts and I'm struggling with my weight. I usually sleep around 5 a.m., and I've been losing weight. Could you suggest a diet or any tips to help me stabilize my weight while working such hours?

Night shift work can disrupt metabolism and appetite. To maintain weight and energy, consider: Dietary Recommendations 1. Eat nutrient-dense foods: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 2. Hydrate adequately: Drink plenty of water throughout the night shift. 3. Balance macronutrients: Aim for 15-20% protein, 25-35% fat, and 55-65% carbohydrates. 4. Snack smart: Choose energy-boosting snacks like nuts, fruits, and energy bars. 5. Avoid heavy meals: Eat light meals 2-3 hours before work to prevent indigestion. Meal Ideas 1. Breakfast (pre-shift): Overnight oats, whole-grain toast with avocado, or Greek yogurt with fruit. 2. Mid-shift snack: Fresh fruits, energy bars, or trail mix. 3. Dinner (post-shift): Grilled chicken or fish with vegetables, quinoa, or brown rice. 4. Before bed snack: Herbal tea with honey or a light, easily digestible snack. Additional Tips 1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. 2. Exercise regularly, but avoid intense workouts before shifts. 3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques. 4. Limit caffeine and sugary drinks.

I'm 33 and just a regular person trying to make healthier choices. I've been thinking about adding ghee to my diet daily but I'm unsure which one is better for health benefits - cow ghee or buffalo ghee? Can you help me understand the differences or what might be better for someone like me?

Both cow and buffalo ghee offer health benefits, but cow ghee is generally considered superior due to its higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may aid in weight management and immune function; however, choose a high-quality, grass-fed, and cultured ghee from either source to reap the benefits.
