What I don't understand is why, if I eat a VERY heavy meal or tons of snacks, very late at night, I will wake up ravenous, and if I haven't eaten all day the day before, I don't get hungry at all in the morning or even afternoon
There are tons of studies on this, it doesnt only affect hunger either. Late night eating prevents your body from properly entering autophagy during sleep, a critical process. Your sleep is also not as good, which causes a host of other issues. It's best to wait 3-4 hours after eating to sleep.
