The clock strikes at 6\u00a0in the evening\u00a0and you glance\u00a0at the time, relieved that your work day is over. The possibilities seem infinite: you might grab a few after-work cocktails<\/a> or coffee<\/a>\u00a0with some friends, or curl up on your couch wolfing down greasy fast food take-out or spicy\u00a0ramen noodles.<\/p>

Sound familiar?<\/p>

As indulgent as these habits are, many of us may fall prey to these\u00a0unhealthy eating habits, particularly as a way of unwinding after a long day in the office or having skipped a meal or two. Caffeine<\/a>, alcohol, and greasy foods - what\u00a0many of us consider to be guilty pleasures - are, in general, foods we should avoid or consume in moderation. \u00a0However, did you know that besides disrupting your sleep<\/a>, these vices have even graver health implications like weight gain and heart diseases, particularly when consumed after 7pm?<\/p>

If you'd like to find out what foods to avoid in the evening and make some changes to your after-work dinner routine, have a look through the gallery above for the top 7 foods you should not<\/strong> be consuming in the evenings before bed<\/a>.<\/p>
