Hi JT. We set our own cut off points for the month.
Some of us build in a few later nights to take account of things like working late etc.
Eg 9pm 25/31 nights; 10pm 6/31 nights of your choice.
You shouldn't have to go hungry, just because you have worked late, especially if you are still under goal.
Thank you ! I so understand what you are saying and agree but at the same time eating before bed you won't have enough time to burn off the calories therefore turning into the dreaded F word! . I get it now about the goal, each have your own goals...cool. Me...no snacking after 7:30pm as I go to bed around 10:30-11.
Hope you are doing well with your gials
You're definitely on the right track. You could try some fresh fruit if you are under goal. It is metabolised very quickly, and has the added advantage of adding fibre to your diet.
What about the sugar in the fruit?2 -

Natural sugars are less harmful than refined sugars. As I understand it, they take more energy to digest than refined sugars.4 -
