I try running, stair climbing and stretching every day and I try not to eat to feel full up. I don’t know if this is a stupid idea, but I’m sure dieting involves feeling moderately hungry, which is what I do now.

Sometimes, after a long hard workday I feel so hungry I eat a lot for dinner, meaning I don’t have to have breakfast before I start working out. I don’t know if this is also a stupid idea. Do you have a small breakfast before starting your work out in the morning before going to work?

A variation of this involves eating only whole grains at night before going to sleep because sometimes that’s the only thing at hand.

Should I change anything?

    It also depends a bit on what you eat. Candy bars for example will have more energy than you need long before you feel full up.

    Eating right before you sleep can be a problem. It can reduce the quality of the sleep as well as the quality of the digestion. Additionally, you move less while asleep, so basically the body has no other choice but to store the extracted carbohydrates as fat.
