Things to Consider When Eating Eggs at Night
Digestibility
Some people find that protein-rich foods like eggs are harder to digest late in the evening, especially if they have existing digestive sensitivities. If this applies to you, eating eggs earlier in the day or choosing lighter cooking methods, such as scrambled instead of fried, may be more comfortable.
Effects on Sleep
Eggs contain tryptophan, an amino acid involved in the production of serotonin and melatonin—hormones that help regulate sleep. For some individuals, eating eggs before bedtime may promote relaxation and potentially support better sleep quality.
