Snacking at night and how fattening are whole oranges ?

worded

I’m a fierce one for a wheatabix when I wake up during the night. But how much is the
weight gain of having an extra meal between supper and breakfast? Oh Lordy have mercy

I can’t stop eating whole oranges as well. Love them, but how fattening are they?

OK one more orange

Oranges contain around 90 calories.

And for the extra meal, calories are counted as whole over the day so if you're consuming more calories then you're burning, you'll have weight gain.

I can't fathom how someone would want to eat if they wake at night? It's bizarre. Only thing that would get me up is to go for a pi$$ otherwise try to get straight back to sleep.

In my case medication at night makes me have this extremely intense need for carbs. I have often woke up ate three or four mars bars and go straight back to sleep.

Eating late is always a bad idea but the calories are counted as an allowance for the whole day.
A whole orange contains lots of fibre so is better than orange juice and does contain only about 80 calories.
If you want to break the cycle of eating at night, bring a hot drink in a flask to bed and sip that. It will relieve the hunger pangs.
As someone who has lost a quarter of my body weight to get to my ideal weight, I can tell you it gets more difficult to shift those winter pounds each year.

If its a Terry's Chocolate Orange, then probably very fattening

Everything is fattening if you eat enough of it

Its a myth that eating at night causes weight gain. Calories in calories out, simple as that, think people just make poor food choices at night that causes weight gain.
The orange is fine once you eat as it is instead of blending it

An orange is not fattening.

Eating more calories than you need every day is fattening.

Doesn't matter when you eat, so long as you don't exceed your calorie requirement (whether maintaining or losing weight) and ensure the majority is high in nutritional value (which an orange is).

I can't think of a poorer choice than getting out of bed to eat a fúcking weetabix!

If i wake up in the middle of the night, i "accidentally" wake the missus and try get a quickie going. It usually ends in an elbow or two and a flurry of expletives - but hope springs eternal:D

There's evidence of some truth to it tbf:

Having both night eating habits, “dinner immediately before bed” and “snacks after dinner”, was associated with higher BMI in both Japanese men and women. Men with both habits showed higher odds of dyslipidemia when compared to those with neither habit. Women with both habits had higher odds of metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity when compared to those with neither habit. In men and women, both night eating habits were associated with dyslipidemia. The presence of both habits tended to show a supra-additive interaction on developing obesity in women. Hence, middle-aged individuals should be advised to refrain from both night eating habits to reduce the risk of developing complications associated with metabolic syndrome.
