Is eating post 6pm harmful to dieting or does it make a difference? I've heard that it's not good cause it all turns into sugar. Educate me.

Total myth... Are you worried about sugar or weight loss? Weight loss is all about a calorie deficit.. does not matter what time you eat those calories..0

Doesn't matter what o'clock you eat. Stay under your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and you will lose weight.0

I usually eat until 9pm at night and I can see some ab definition - myth
The only reason eating late would be an issue for weight loss is if it caused you to eat over maintenance calories. Other than that, a good reason not to eat later at night is if it causes issues with sleep or digestion.0 -
Myth. I never eat dinner before 6:30.0

Food/meal timing is a preference thing. Just eat when you want, with a focus on staying within your calorie goals.0

Echoing everyone else and saying 'myth'.

My mom is currently into this myth which her coworker adamantly insisted that she try. She wouldn't listen to a word I said. Sad to see how people's minds are so fixed.

For me personally, eating after 6 p.m. hinders my weight loss. So I have my heavy meal before 3, and if I need something it might be an apple, or some ryvita crackers.0

I suppose cutting out dinner entirely might lower my calories. I honestly don't understand how people are even home to eat at (or before) 6 pm. I eat after 9 most of the time. (I lost weight fine.)0
