If I eat at 3 am, is this considered the next day?

    You can establish any consistent convention that works for your life-style.
    Consistency and overall calories over time are what matters...

    Did you go to sleep for the majority of your night yet - or up until 3am and then ate?

    My next day for food logging doesn't start at midnight, but when I wake up and begin eating again - even if that eating doesn't take place 12 hrs after getting up.

    So 3 am would be logged to prior day's calories since still up.

    Generally I consider a day's calories from the time I wake up until I go to sleep, no matter how late, and I log everything on the day of/prior to going to sleep.
