Hell, I'm not even home by 7 on most nights...
I usually eat dinner around 8:30/9:00 and I'm in bed by 10. It's never been an issue.0 -

Eat in a way that makes you feel best...your body functions 24/7, irregardless of when you eat.
I'm supposed to stop about 3 hours before lying down due to reflux, but I don't always.
Then you lie in the "what makes you feel best" ;P
Obviously, if it makes you feel yucky to eat so close to bed, dont.
The misconception that gets tossed around is "if you eat before you sleep you won't burn it off and it'll get turned to fat"
At least, that's what I've seen to nauseum on the boards.
If that were even remotely true, I'd have never lost 53 lbs. Or gotten to where I am now. I enjoy my Talenti pints watching anime right before bed and I'm not about to stop
Just had Talenti! Trying to decide to go back for 50 more grams with my remaining calories or not...
Must know flavor..... for science!
my favorite is chocolate peanut butter cup and sea salt caramel 
Remember, as you savor each bite...it's all in the name of science! I've seen it but never tried it. May have to get a pint when I get paid again.
the sea salt caramel is like an orgasm in your mouth.
Why would you buy food that tastes like spunk that?0 -

Ummm.... because you started this thread to ask about this and they only way to answer your question is to understand why you're thinking meal timing is important.
It's not by the way. I would rather address your specific concerns than just give you a sweeping answer. But apparently that's not what you want.

Our bodies don't stop processing food just because we're sleeping. I know I lose between one and two pounds each night so it's obviously burning calories.
This whole "don't eat after a certain time at night" seems to stem from some research done years ago that most people who eat after dinner gain weight. In other words, by dinnertime they've already consumed their maintenance calories for the day so anything they eat after dinner is extra calories and causing them to gain weight. People have misconstrued that to mean they shouldn't eat after dinner, but if you have the calories left then there's no reason you can't.0 -
Whenever I run out of calories, stop being hungry or need to sleep.0

I have pcos so my body doesn't process sugars and carbs correctly so eating them & not working out is really bad for me THATS why if you have any specific information on this pleaseeee tell meSingRunTing wrote: »neekmichelle922 wrote: »SingRunTing wrote: »neekmichelle922 wrote: »LiveLaughLoveEat1 wrote: »neekmichelle922 wrote: »

The idea that you shouldn't eat after a certain time because you can't digest food at night is an old wives tale. Ignore that unless you have some kind of medical condition. In which case, your doctor will tell you when.0 -
Do you think pcos counts as 1 for this matter ?eyecandyrayce wrote: »neekmichelle922 wrote: »I heard 7pm even tho I know it's all about calories burned vs calories taken in but it's not good to have food sitting in ur stomach alll night right ?

I stop eating when I feel full, or have hit my calories, or just don't feel the need to eat anymore. There is no magical time to stop eating.
With that said, some people sleep and/or feel better depending on when they eat. But beyond that, nope, doesn't matter. I've lost over 50 pounds and I often have a drink or a small snack before bed.0 -

It seems that you've already made up your mind OP...not sure why you even ask the question if you've already decided for yourself.
Really, it makes very little difference...your body doesn't reset and you don't turn into a pumpkin at midnight...but just do whatever it is you feel like you need to do.
I would personally think with PCOS that the composition of your diet would make a whole lot more difference than meal timing...but hey...whatever you want to believe.0 -

Now google how long food sits in your large intestine, and you'll realize that when you go to bed, your digestive system is still working on food from the day before. The amount of time varies from person to person, but the average is about 30-40 hours for a meal to make its way completely through the digestive system.
If you have PCOS, speak to your doctor about your diet.0 -

People with PCOS generally are recommended to follow a low carb diet. Have you started looking it that approach?

I eat until I run out of calories for the day. That's usually right around bedtime

Nothing to do with weight loss really.
I have had sleep problems in the past. For people with insomina, it is often suggested that you limit or avoid certain things close to going to bed.
I've noticed that I generally feel better and sleep better if I do not try to sleep right after a large, heavy meal. A small snack is usually okay for me if I need it.
If you can eat a big, heavy meal before sleeping and it doesn't bother you that is great. As I wrote in my pp, I don't think it really matters what time a person eats.
