When you're looking for something to eat around midnight, do you feel naughty?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) December 11th, 2010

Sometimes I think I eat late just to keep from having to go to bed. Or I think I don’t need to eat this, and I should really just go to bed, but I don’t.

Does getting a midnight snack give you pause? Why or why not? What do you eat? Do you sneak it, like when you were a child, or do you not care what anyone else thinks of your eating habits?

I’m like a dog, and I eat whenever I’m hungry, whatever the hour. Doesn’t make me feel anything ecxept satisfied after I’ve devoured someone, or at least, something.

No, but only because I sometimes work the night shift. In fact, I just finished a meal at midnight or so. It was pancit con caldo.

I walk to Starbucks every night at 1:30 a.m. Coffee or hot chocolate helps to clear my head after working (or trying to work) all day. Sometimes I’m embarrassed because the baristas recognize me so well, but I certainly don’t feel naughty.

Life is too short to worry about these things. I’m going to enjoy those cookies I’m eating right now!

Usually, when I eat that late, it’s because I’ve woken up hungry. Then, I’m still mostly asleep and not really aware of what I’m eating which usually means it’s easy to prepare and thus probably pretty bad for me. A little chocolate is okay, but not the whole damn half pound bar.

@absalom if there were a starbucks open that late within walking distance from me I would probably be the real life version of tweak from south park…and utterly broke. And, just like clockwork 12:30am, time for the walk of “stays crunchy in milk” shame to the kitchen….

Hmmm… my favorite midnight snack is salad, french bread, cheese and wine. I’m usually just getting home around this time, so this is dinner. Yum!

I only feel naughty about it if it involves a girl.
