Night Eating Log
Seven days that separate NES from delayed binge from under-eating
Night Eating Syndrome and evening/night binge patterns are their own picture — morning anorexia, evening hyperphagia, awakenings with intake, and mood that follows a circadian curve. This log maps the pattern across a week so the clinician can see whether it's NES, delayed binge eating, or under-eating during the day.
Seven-day pattern
Day
First food (time)
% intake before 6pm
Night awakenings + intake
Mood on waking
Sleep window (average bedtime → wake)
Morning appetite 0–10
Evening / night appetite 0–10
Screens, alcohol, cannabis in the evening
Front-loading plan (what breakfast / lunch would look like)
Evening structure (protected dinner time, wind-down, screens off)
If you eat less by day, you eat more by night
Most night eating patterns resolve when the daytime meal plan is genuinely adequate and evenly spaced. Structure the day and the night usually rebalances itself.
