    What time should a person not eat after? 7? 8? Will eating like at 9 or 10 ruin my diet?
    Intermittent fasting would probably help you with that. Your body runs like a well oiled machine when it's not slowed down by large quantities of food. When you eat late at night it delays your bodies process to rebuild itself. So if possible it is wise to stop eating by around 7 and then start back up at 9 in the morning.

    That's not what the OP was asking. And meal frequency and timing is a personal thing. Eating later in the day does not slow the body down at all. The metabolism is an efficient thing...

    Had only eaten 800 calories yesterday by the time I got ready for bed, quickly grabbed a protein shake, peanut butter and crackers, ate that right at 9:30pm. It was more important to get the calories in than to not eat. Not matter the time.

    When you're in bed is to late to eat. It's just not hygienic, you don't want to sleep where you eat.

    Not hygienic? I think you're thinking of pooping. You're not supposed to eat where you poop.

    I keep picturing crumbs and drops of food, lol

    Oh. Well, I mean, it might be itchy and uncomfortable, but my bedding gets washed more often than the couch or kitchen chairs do, so I'm not worried about it.

    I clean the table after every meal and sweep the dinning room everyday so it's clean and we don't eat in the living room but the thought of crumbs in the bed would keep me up all night, lol

    In my opinion and based on my personal experience doesn't matter when you eat. It's just a matter of calories in vs. calories out.
