    Wish I had that will power. I can't stop eating just because I am out of calories. I'm a really miserable *kitten* when I'm hungry. lol

    I struggled until I stopped trying to do things like having just yogurt for breakfast (now I have bacon, an egg, and grits and stay full much longer), and trying to save most of my calories for dinner. I'd be hungry all day and then eat a huge dinner, so then I'd think, "I need to have at least 1,000 calories left for dinner or I won't be able to eat enough!" Now I eat a satisfying breakfast and lunch, and I'm not starving in the evening so I can eat a normal dinner and be full. And sometimes I'm still hungry, and I do let myself go a little over. (I love the weekly average so I can see that I have "extra" calories from days I stayed under.) And I like filling, but low-cal snacks like cottage cheese and popcorn.

    Never. I've fell asleep with 3000 calories left in the day. I woke up 3am and ate ice cream, waffles, and chicken because I was hungry.

    Usually around midnight (aka bed time). I have trouble sleeping on an empty stomach and even if I do, I will wake up absolutely ravenous. I can't have breakfast until 10:00-ish, so waking up hungry is a bad scene.

    When the food runs out. Ok, not really. I generally try to stop around 8pm because I find that whatever I eat after that is usually mindless snacking, and not based off hunger. Plus, if I eat too late, I sometimes get acid reflux in the night and that's no fun. I buy the Costco Zantac party packs just in case though..lol

    When I'm out of calories/not hungry anymore.

    It really doesn't matter.

    When I'm full, or unconscious, or both.

    I couldn't have lost weight if I didn't stop eating when I ran out of calories.

    I just strategically plan them so I eat throughout the day. :)

    I stop when I'm full. Meals can be random. Even wake up, eat, then back to bed.
