I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and water flossed it and I forgot and ate something again should I brush again and water floss again or is it fine to wait till morning to brush again?

    Do not brush immediately after eating or vice versa. It hurts your teeth’s coating

      I think this is well intentioned but generally bad advice when stated so definitively. Brush your teeth. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good though and do what you need to do to brush your teeth. Know that it may be better to do it a while after eating but don’t let timing prevent you from doing it.

      I say this as someone who was told this and the overall result was bad.
