    Timing of meals is irrelevant.

    Ate 3 eggs, a slice of toast, and a bowl of yogurt while in bed last night and woke up 2.8 lb lighter than I was 3 days ago.

    Meal timing means nothing except comfort. I sleep better with food in my stomach. Others sleep better on an empty stomach.

    Yeh that's not true.

    A lot of people say this for one of two reasons.

    1) By that time in the day you're likely to have already reached your recommended intake, or are close to it so eating more would take you out of a deficit or even maintenance for that day.

    or

    2) The type of foods people tend to go for at that time are usually ones with low nutrition content and high calorie counts . . . easy foods for snacking on in front of the TV or something quick and easy to eat after dinner. People aren't usually reaching for nutrient dense snacks like apples or protein bites or something like that. They're reaching for chips, cookies, brownies, etc. Which there's nothing wrong with any of those foods but it's very easy to eat 2, 3 or more of the recommend servings because the calorie count is so high for very little volume of food, and let's be honest . . . we visually want more of anything so we wouldn't be happy counting out 18 chips, or only 2 cookies. I mean with self control it can happen but most of us don't have that . . . I still don't for some things which is why I just can't buy them.

    Timing of food is a personal preference. I don't eat after 7 but I am in bed by 9:30 and up at 5:15 so 7 for me is when I'm winding down for the night and I just prefer not to eat but when I've had a late day sometimes I am eating dinner while reading before I go to bed.

    None of this even makes sense. Everyone is going to have a different number of calories they need to eat. Saying someone needs to eat between 1000 and 2000 calories without knowing how active they are, their height and current weight is just nonsensical. Timing of eating has absolutely nothing to do with how much fat you lose. Finally, I don't want to "loose" weight so fast. I want to eat at a reasonable deficit and lose weight the smart way and not lose a bunch of lean body mass because I'm losing weight too quickly.

    ^thanks for saving me the trouble of typing that out.

    In whose time zone? Yours or mine?

    And what if I travel?

    What about Daylight Savings Time?

    And what happens if I don't eat dinner until 8 pm because I get home from work late?

    You might just be in trouble . . . . might as well adjust your entire schedule to make it happen.

    @christinaki89 Have you had a chance to read the stickied "must reads" posts at the top of Getting Started or General Diet? They might help to clear up some misconceptions before you make anymore proclamations about weight loss:

    If you're not a troll, read the stickies above. If that eating pattern works for you, great. But it won't work for others as per all of the above posts.

    I'm confused... is this meant to be sarcastic? It seems odd that one person is able to pinpoint what the rest of the masses need to do to lose the specified amount of weight.

    Well, if you stop eating at 7 pm and weigh yourself, let's say, next morning at 9-10 am you're going to weigh less than if you ate dinner at 11 but that's because you fasted for longer. I find it too "painful" to stop eating that early. One does what fits one better.
