I never said you were wrong, I stated conjecture from another author just as you have but I did not say "This is the way because I said so, now allow me to present hyperlinks."


This is like arguing over Christianity. In the end the odds of anyone being swayed are slim, they will remain even more dug into their previous mindset.

Ok let me reword it there is far greater support to the fact that eating before bedtime is not a bad thing compared to it been a bad thing which ive provided examples of and i am arguing on truth because if you actually read the hyperlinks it shows that studies have been done to prove that eating before bedtime is not a bad thing.

First link:
"But it's probably a myth that eating before bed has a unique ability to promote weight gain compared with eating at other times of the day"

Second link:
"About makes no representations and specifically disclaims all warranties, express, implied or statutory, regarding the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any material contained in this site."

I couldn't find the story on the "WIN" site either.
Third article is the same as the one posted on about.com

FP, I do not care one way or the other what you believe. All I asked is if you had a source to say it is "PROVEN". Show me that one.

Cheers

I never once said that was proof; lets recap the list of events:
First, I said "they" say...,
then you said who are they? Because I claim to be an MS RD and have never told any athlete that (and how many athletes do you see exactly in grad school?)
Next, I posted who "they" are.
The article I am quoting is from Muscle and Fitness, the author is a senior editor of Fitness, as well as an author in several other publications.

Then you come back with what quite sincerely has to be the stupidest retort I have ever heard in my life.

And that's where we currently are.

Now, take that info and shove it up your ass, far up..., right where your head obviously is, then maybe you will be able to comprehend it.

you're right. I have to admit that was a pretty stupid retort. FYI I am the consultant to a women's pro cycling team, and part of the founding group of RDs of a major sports nutrition organization in case there's any question of my expertise on the matter. I'm not insinuating what you stated was proof but I just think it's ironic because you ripped someone else for saying "proven" but you obviously feel the stuff written in Men's Fitness carries weight, perhaps not proven but nonetheless...

"A trial from January 2005 found that eating late at night was not associated with weight gain even among people with "night eating syndrome" (see below)." I've provided what i believe to be proof several times already but i can know see it's pointless because this arguement is like the chicken and the egg one everyone believes what they want to believe in my opinion eating before bedtime is not a bad thing and i know from personal experiance ive never had any negative effects and yes i have tried not eating before bedtime absolutly no difference whatsoever

Very well stated. My only qualm with that is that there have been several studies to either side of the fence. That's all. However I can't devote anymore time to this at the moment as it's cutting into my cycling time.

Cheers.
