    Meal timing doesn't matter. Calorie deficit does.

    What are you asking, really? People think lots of things, and lots of people have noe clue about weight management. I eat when I'm hungry and have time to eat, I'm not a gremlin.

    Anything that fits within your daily calorie goal.

    No? It's all dependent on your stats and goals.

    i usually plan and log all my meals for the day before breakfast so i have and idea of how my day should be. i fine tune the portion sizes after the meals. i like 20% calories for breakfast, 30% calories for lunch, 40% calories for dinner. the other 10% are snacks...

    Meal timing doesn't matter for weight loss. A calorie deficit is what matters.
    I eat dinner between 6-8 pm and a snack around 9 pm.

    Whatever you want it to be that fits your calorie goal for the day.
    I often eat 500-600 calorie dinners.

    I do not because I am in bed at that point. But meal timing doesn't matter.

    TBH, knowing that meal timing doesn't matter was a super big deal to me. I often save some calories for a treat before bed...usually bread and jam. I don't like waking up hungry and this seems to help me delay breakfast until later in the morning. I eat breakfast at 10am and then lunch at 12pm, and I like the full feeling from the meals close together.

    I personally don't, but one can eat dinner at 10 pm if they want to.

    I eat at 10 3 nights a week as I work late and don't have time to eat dinner on my shift as I finish at 10pm so if I'm out late sometimes I eat at 11 and it hasn't effected my weight loss xx

    Meal timing food type does not matter for weight loss. Your body does not know the time, and digestion does not stop when you're sleeping.The information is just found in many diet books and is basically filler catchy sentences to sell more books.

    Meal timing is irrelevant. The amount of calories in your dinner should be whatever fits in your calorie budget.

    The rest of us can't tell you what to eat. The amount of calories you eat at a certain time of day don't matter.

    I usually eat later than that during the week as my partner gets in very late from evening work, and I am losing steadily.

    The main problem is that I get hungry earlier if I don't space out meals during the day.

    So I tend to have a small breakfast, lunch and tea and some healthy snacks during the day, and leave somewhere in the region of 500kcal or so for an evening meal. A heavy meal would feel a bit stodgy just before bed, and even when I wasn't trying to lose, my evening meal wasn't much different to what it is now, I just ate more in the day.

    As it's so late, I then rarely eat anything after that, very occasionally a relatively lo-cal hot chocolate or hot malt drink if I have some spare calories left, and want a comforting drink before bed.
