Plan a healthy snack you can slowly munch on during that time. Preportioned.

Vegetables with some low-cal dip or hummus work well.

There's nothing "bad" about late night eating unless it causes digestive issues for you or makes it hard to sleep. All that matters is how many calories you're eating per day, it doesn't matter when you eat them.

If it helps, I actually save most of my calories for later in the day. I don't eat breakfast due to getting extreme nausea in the mornings if so. Coffee or diet soda is fine, but I can't even stomach a protein shake.

I go to bed feeling super satiated and happy with a nice-*kitten* dinner.

It's 10:15 and I'm eating ice cream in bed. I will lose weight because I'll be in a deficit for the week. Eating late is not "bad".

Meal time is meal time (and, just in case it comes up, meal timing doesn't matter for weight loss). Eat your dinner whenever you want and can.

I eat dinner late every night...have for as long as I can remember...didn't hinder me from losing weight. There's nothing wrong with eating late. You lose weight in a calorie deficit regardless of when you eat.

What time do you go to bed? I know I have a hard time sleeping sometimes if I've had a large meal, otherwise there is no reason eating late is "bad". Just plan for those calories and you'll be fine, the clock has no bearing on your weight loss. I always save enough calories for a treat before bed and had no issue reaching my weight loss goal.

If eating late is bad, I don't wanna be right. I get off work at 5:00 p.m. I typically eat dinner sometime between 8:30 - 9:30 because that's my preference. I've maintained a healthy weight while eating late for over 3 decades.
