Needless to say, we all experience these nights. Those nights where our stomachs are just not aware that it’s already time for bedtime, not time to eat.
And getting a bag of junk food or eating a tub of ice cream is as easy as 1 2 3, however if you have made all the efforts of making the right food choices all day or if you have continued to push yourself to exercise every single day (even on those day where you feel like skipping), you wouldn’t want to sabotage your diet and give in to those midnight pangs, right? But don’t worry, you can certainly give in to your late-night snacking craving. Yes, you heard me. You are allowed to have a midnight snack, just be sure to choose something healthy.
