Although cheese is often blamed for all the ills, the fact remains that it is also a food with many health benefits. To which saint should we devote ourselves? We help you see things more clearly.
Does eating cheese in the evening make you gain weight?
In the evening, it is better to avoid cheeses too fatty and difficult to digest. In question ? Many elements. Firstly, fats, which are heavy to digest, and which can present a risk of an inflammatory reaction in the stomach. Then, tyramine – an amino acid transformed by the body into tyrosine – would have an impact on the production of serotonin and melatonin, two neurotransmitters involved in sleep. Finally, it should be remembered that lactose – the content of which varies from one cheese to another – can cause digestive problems but also a spike in blood sugar that can cause nighttime cravings.
Furthermore, if the calories consumed during the day allow the body to generate energy, after a certain time, the body rests and no longer needs to produce as much energy. Result ? Calories are no longer assimilated well enough by the body and are then stored in the form of fat. For this reason, it is recommended to leave between 2 and 3 hours between meals and bedtime, especially in the event of digestion problems.
Finally, an Anglo-Saxon tradition (notably relayed by Charles Dickens in his Christmas tale) wants that eating cheese in the evening gives serious nightmares… Crazy? However, a study carried out by the British Cheese Board reveals that consume cheese just before bed can harm the quality of sleep!
When is the best time of day to eat cheese?
Although it is often very high in calories, cheese is also good for your health, in particular thanks to its high calcium content. It is no coincidence thatit is recommended to consume 30 to 40 g of cheese per day ! The good idea? Eat your portion of cheese at breakfast. And instead focus on a low-calorie cheese such as cancoillotte, fresh goat’s cheese, mozzarella… This advice is especially valid for people who are particularly attentive to their weight and/or who want to lose a few kilograms! Indeed, the best advice for avoid gaining weight from cheese ? Stick to a 30-35g serving per day!
