Yeah, that's right. A full 12 inch, thin crust veg and triple cheese pizza, Caribbean wedges and coleslaw. 1325 calories, and I'm off to bed shortly.
The reason I posted this is because of all the bull crap I read about NOT eating after 7pm, or 3 hours before you go to bed.
I work strange hours, so I'm nocturnal. Breakfast between 6pm and 7pm. Lunch at around 1am and then dinner between 6am and 8am. I usually eat an hour before I go to bed, and I've lost weight consistently every week for the last 3 months.
So, we can put the whole "don't eat before bed, or you'll get fat" myth to bed <<< (see what I did there)

Just to add, if you think 1325 is a lot, after exercise, I usually have between 2000 - 2200 calories to consume, then I aim to eat back half (usually of my exercise calories.0

Yum yum. I'm jealous.0 -
your theory holds no water how much extra weight could you have lost by eating when you were going to stay awake..hmmmm.0

Weak. No meat on the pizza? Good attempt but try again!

Well, it works for me. I eat and lift weights before I go to bed. I always make sure I stay within my daily allowance, and I always lose weight. Regardless what time you eat, the weight still comes off the same.
I could probably sleep walk to the kitchen, then start eating like some kind of demented beast, as long as I stayed within my allowance, I'll lose weight.0 -

The same , calorie intakes does not change depending on the hour. 3500 calorie in the morning is going to be the same at midnight .0 -

I don't eat much meat anymore anyway! The GF is vegetarian, it's easier to NOT eat it, trust me.0 -
As long as you stay in a deficit, nutrient timing does not matter.0

He's under calorie limit, so why isn't it smart? Meal timing has no effect on weight loss. I'm eating now and it's 10:50pm. I'll eat till about 11:30pm (maybe an apple) then off to bed. But still will be within calorie limit.that doesnt make it smart lol.

I think maybe they meant that pizza isn't healthy food. I could stay in my calorie range on just mcdonalds. I stayed under, but that doesnt make it a good idea.0 -
This happens if you eat late (true story):

I love it. I finished my workout at about 10:45, swung by the local Mexican eatery for a chicken chimi, horked the whole thing down and now I'm going to hit the sack.
Shoulda had some meat on that pizza though bro.

What's unhelathy about a thin crust veg and cheese pizza? Or cole slaw? Do you have issues with crust (carb) cheese (fat and protein) veg/cabbage?0 -

Bwahahahaha0 -
Lol, that's a pretty bold statement. Let me ask you this: When it's 12 morning in NYC, it's 12 afternoon half way around the world (180 degrees). So how do you explain physiology of those on the opposite side of the world? Shouldn't they be sleeping?:laugh: :laugh:yep I guess science iws wrongGraveyard workers that eat during times the body should be sleeping have higher sugar levels higher weights hifgher incidents heart disease on and on.

The body adapts. Nuff said.

Don't get me wrong, I don't eat high calorie meals each and every night before bed, just with working flexi/nightly hours, eating set meals kind of goes out the window. Usually before bed, I eat a banana or some crackers (or both) just my point of the post was, if you do eat before bed (regardless what you eat) it doesn't cause you to hold onto fat, or mean everything you just ate will be stored as fat, etc.0

kinda sad that the OP and a few in this thread believe that calories is all a person needs to eat for
What about all the macro and micro nutrients his body is starving for that he didnt provide it in a whole ****ing pie that he ate for his daily meal?
****ty way to eat and a ****ty way to live to be dead honest0 -

Oh I'm sorry Dr Watson, I wasn't aware you could see my diary? I thought it was friends only, but lets go over what I had today.
Breakfast - Oats (porridge) with fresh cherries and blueberries
Lunch - Banana, low fat crackers and some cheese spread, with a cheese and onion roll (not logged, but I know it's properties)
Dinner - Thin crust veg and cheese pizza, with 140 G of Caribbean spicy wedges, with some coleslaw
Snacks - banana.
And that's a *****ty way to eat?
Are you Popeye or something?
Please, good sir, show me how champions like yourself eat!0 -
All the veggies on the pizza are great for him. However, OP, I must say that you suck. I wish I could eat like that. I can't; therefore, you suck.0
