I am sure now. You don't come off as a bro.
I can't tell if you are being serious.it depends on if you want to go into starvation mode or not ...
eating after 7pm will cause starvation mode = very bad...

I already knew the answer. I wasn't sure if you were trolling or being sarcastic.

I'm just now eating dinner... it is after 10pm. When I'm finished, I will eat the ice cream I planned into my day. Don't want to under-eat, after all! haha Doesn't matter what time you eat, so long as you are taking in adequate fuel for your body and work outs and meet your macros/ stay under calorie goal for weight loss.
Don't sweat it if you need to eat late. 0 -
I like to stop eating at 8:00 p.m. because I feel that I sleep a lot better, but I don't think it affects weight loss whatsoever.0

i eat after 7 every night. there is nothing i could eat that would keep me full til bedtime! plus, getting done work at 8pm, i go home and workout then eat my dinner.0

My doctor gave me a prescription for my individual condition too.
What would your doc say to people that got up at 8pm because their shift started at 10pm?0 -
I don't follow that advice. If I workout after work, that means not even getting home until after 7pm, so that doesn't work for me. I think about when I was studying abroad in Spain, the family I lived with ate dinner really late, like around 9/10pm - and they were very thin and healthy, eating a Mediterranean diet. So I think it's more about what you eat (especially if you are facing a long period of inactivity, such as bed time), not specifically when you eat.0

But... but... but. It's after 10 p.m. It will all turn straight into fat even if you are in a 6000 caloric deficit.Depends on the timezone

FAD DIETS - DON'T BELIEVE THESE 10 DIET MYTHS
Posted by Admin Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2013 1 comment
If your nutrition and weight-loss education comes mostly by way of fad diet books and magazine articles, you will believe 10 myths and to lose weight you need to get them out of your head.
Fad diets don't work period - So if you believe any of the following you need to change your view to lose weight.
1. Skipping meals helps you lose weight.
No it does not! it makes you hungrier as it creates huger cravings and actually causes you to over eat. You need to eat 5 meals a day.
2. Your metabolism is slower at night.
Your metabolism doesn't slow down at night.
This fad diet myth comes from the fact that most people eat a larger proportion of calories in the evening and if your metabolism slows down then when you sleep these calories will turn to fat!
As your metabolism is not slower at night, it makes no difference when you eat - it's the overall calories consumed that cause the damage not the time of day their eaten that matters.
3. Carbohydrates cause weight gain.
This is perhaps the most common fad diet myth. This myth has been promoted by high-protein fad diets on the market.
Carbohydrates are your body's premier source of fuel. The thing to keep in mind with cards is good and bad ones and eat the good ones is the
Replace carbs with high sugar content (simple carbs) i.e biscuits and sweets with complex carbs: Fruit, vegetables whole-grain brown rice and cereal.
Not eating carbs will make you sluggish and irritable.
4. Lose weight is hard and a chore.
Well many fad diets are! As they deprive you of foods you love, their therefore hard to stick with.
Fact is we were never designed to be on fad diets. Dieting is all about balance and you can include any foods you love, but if there sugary or fat foods then you just need to eat them in moderation.
5. Fat free foods that are calorie free.
That low-fat label is by no means a license to over indulge
Many low-fat products are loaded with sugar to as a substitute for the missing fat, which means they are just as high in calories as the sugar is simply turned into fat!
6. No Snacks
If you have time to eat 5 meals a day you won't probably want to snack, if it's three times a day a quick snack is a good idea.
At the end of the day, its total calories consumed in a day that counts not how you eat them.
A quick snack can help you stop overeating and keep your energy levels high.
7. Fat is bad for you
Fats are part of the natural food chain of humans and we all need a certain amount of fat to healthy, but we need good ones.
Bad fats increase the risk for certain diseases and good fats lower the risk. The key is to make sure your eating the right fats.
Fats that are actually healthy are referred to as "essential fatty acids." These fats are required for overall health and lower risk of heart disease.
The reason oily fish is so good is that the essential fatty acids contained actually help your body burn fat more efficiently and protect against disease.
8. Cholesterol is bad for you
Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is made by the liver, we all need some blood cholesterol as it's used to build cells and form hormones.
There is good and bad cholesterol.
Saturated fats in foods such as meat, cheese, cream, butter help raise LDL (low density lipoprotein) 'bad' cholesterol.
This then delivers cholesterol to the arteries. HDL (high density lipoprotein) - or 'good' cholesterol - transports cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver.
Simply avoid this group or eat in moderation
9. Dairy products make you fat.
Combined with calorie control, a dairy-rich diet can nearly double body-fat reduction and help you lose weight longer term
The reason is they contain the hormone calcitriol, which helps conserve calcium for stronger bones while sending a message to fat cells to convert less sugar to fat and burn more body fat.
10. There is a short cut way to lose weight
This is the myth promoted by all fad diets you can lose weight quickly and be healthy - No you cant. Our bodies are not designed to crash diet and fad diets sound easy but people end up being disappointed.
The only way to lose weight is to do it slowly, with a balanced diet.
Forget fad diets and lose weight the right way.

number one is complete BS ...five meals has nothing to do with weight loss..and plenty of people do IF - skip breakfast - and have great results.0 -
Yes. I work 2nd shift, so instead of snacking between lunch and dinner like a normal person, I have my snack when I get home from work at midnight. As long as I'm sure to keep my portions small, losing weight shouldn't be a problem just because it's after 7 .The time of day doesn't really matter. Your body doesn't know if it's 7pm or 8pm, only that it's time to sleep. Keep in mind that there are people who work night-shifts, and they lose weight just fine.0 -
Eating after 7pm should only be only a consideration if you are diabetic. For instance, the type of insulin I use (Humalog Quik-Pen 75/25) was designed to last 12 hours and to have 1 shot before breakfast and 1 shot before dinner (12 hours apart),(25% is quick acting to cover the meal and 75% is slow acting to last 12 hours) so while staying on a schedule is important the 12 hour spread is crucial to maintain correct blood sugars. Personally, I tend to sleep in and stay up late so my shots are usually at 11am and 11pm. Otherwise, eat whenever you feel your hungry as there is no right or wrong answer to your question.0
-
i eat after 7 every night. there is nothing i could eat that would keep me full til bedtime! plus, getting done work at 8pm, i go home and workout then eat my dinner.
Same. Regardless of what I eat I'm not full by bedtime & actually have to stop myself at midnight. Like physically stop myself. Nights are the worst for me in regards of not eating. But I'm staying within goal so it's all good.0 -
I work crazy shift work. Some over nights, some evenings, some mornings - all over the place!
I eat when I can. I typically stay up until 3am. So I will usually eat around 1am (lighter snack/supper) and it really hasn't stopped me none. I do know that I need food to workout. I will always eat a larger meal about an 1.5 hour before working out.0 -
Well towards the beginning of my weight loss, I never ate carbs after 3 pm (or fruit) and didn't eat anything after 7 pm. And honestly, I slacked off about a month ago. Am I still losing? Yes. As much as before? Sure, I'm losing how much I'd reasonably expect myself to lose. I really think your body doesn't know the difference between 7 pm and 10 pm. After all I just chowed down quite a few Ritz crackers (not clean eating at ALL, but I always allow myself those- they keep me sane :bigsmile: ) and a bowl of nonfat plain yogurt. Its usually just yogurt at night (dessert), but you can have tons of other healthy things, if you're worried about it going straight to your body.
Oh and I want a toned tummy, and do believe in clean eating. But the Ritz are just sitting there in the cabinet waiting to be opened! Gahhh, this better not affect the loss of inches on my tummy. -_-0 -
It really doesn't matter. I regularly eat most of my cals after 8 pm and as long as I'm under cals I keep losing.0
-
There is a ton of research.......Google is your friend.
But people will believe what the they want to no matter what science says.0 -
@ OP
Im guessing your co-worker doing that leangains IF. Also there has been studies where says doesnt matter about meal frequency or when you eat your body will still burn it all the same.0 -
It depends. Are you a Mogwai?
LoLz ... Gremlins
I usually eat some coattge cheese and almonds right before bed, so when I wake up I can have fuel to workout first thing when I wake up ... I hare eating or drinking before a workout, it makes me nauseous. ..0 -
I eat all of my calories between 8pm and 2am.
I'm losing just fine. 0 -
I eat whenever I'm legitimately hungry...not to be confused with booze hungry!! :drinker:0

I think the article was just meaning that skipping meals isn't a weight loss trick and that the someone (especially someone who doesnt have the best self control) might over eat, so it recommends the 5 times just so they don't get overly hungry then over eat, It doesn't sond to me at all like it was implying 5 meals was required for weight loss....0 -
Lost 45 lbs in 7 months eating whenever I'm hungry. Definitely don't "close the kitchen" at 7 or whatever. So, count me in for time of day doesn't matter!0

Hi -
It seems like everything I have learned about the rules of dieting were all a myth - am wondering how people feel about eating after 7pm or 8pm -with the idea that when you eat that late if you are not active that the food just sits and you are not burning it off....
I have recently learned that breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day - my coworker just started the diet where he eats all his food within a 8 hour window... but he'll eat two hamburgers at 10:00 at night... sounds like a bad idea.
Just curious about how others think about this ( I have no desire to eat late) I think I just need to be re-educated
Don't believe everything you read. There is so much crap diet advice out there.
Unless something is peer reviewed and published in a prestigous international sports science or medical publication - I tend to ignore it.
kind regards,
Ben0
