    I eat all of my calories at night. I finish my eating window with a bowl of cereal about 30 minutes before I lay down every night. I am consistently losing 2 lbs/week :) Timing doesn't matter!

    It's fine to eat at night. You should always have a meal after a workout, especially if you did weights.

    psulemon how long are you going to be stuck on that false concept that only 'total calories is all that matters"?

    Sure eating before bedtime when you metabolism wants to slow down is less than idea but sometimes is hard to avoid. Typically it is best to not eat after 5 pm if you go to bed 9-10 pm my scales tell me. :)

    Your scale tells you when I go to bed? Creepy.

    I seemed to have lost 53 lbs eating a large majority of my calories after 5 pm... like 1k plus some days... seems my metabolism is fine....

    ETA : omg, I just ate a pint of ice cream at 1130pm and laid down for bed....

    I have 312 reason that theory holds very little water.... I take a 500-600 calorie snack to bed with me every night (because I need to hit my TOTAL CALORIES) for the day and somehow managed to lose a couple pounds.... ☺

    *Sees Psulemon's and Ed's weight loss and applauds them on their success*

    *looks at "something else" and just smiles*

    Well, I think the proof is in the pudding on what is a false concept and not. *shrugs*

    actually, we are burning calories all through the night. That's why morning weight is lower,

    Until you provide proof that it's not.

    Folks on this subject some of you are going to have to stop typing and start reading if you are going to post factual posts and stop embarrassing yourselves . How long has it been since you got deep into cell biology and human physiology?

    I will do the typing for you OK?

    So for maximum fuel efficiency, should I fill my car's fuel tank at night or in the morning?

    Bombshell are you saying reading is a problem for you and you had prefer videos to grasp the factual concept that a calorie is not always a calorie as in all calories are not equal?

    I'm saying if you want to challenge me on a calorie not being a calorie than you're the most special snowflake ever


    What don't you grasp about thermodynamics? Since you're so into science?

    ETA : and because you can't put anything on the internet that isn't true

    Would you prefer a picture of what thermodynamics does? Since words seem to confuse you and you love to mock people who seem pretty damn successful for being clueless?

    I eat a snack every single night right before bed!
