    Sure, if you are below your calories you can have a shake, peanut butter, cheese, whatever you like.

    Don't forget ice cream and brownies!

    Yes, you can have whatever you want to get to your goal.

    you can also eat much later than 5:30, meal timing doesn't matter for weight loss

    you`ve posted a few times about having trouble eating 1200 calories a day, definitely DO NOT set a cut off time if you have a history of not eating all your calories.

    choose foods that are more calorie dense if eating is a problem.

    Going over your carbs won't cause you to not lose weight - only going over your calories will cause you to not lose weight.

    Carbs have gotten a bad rap in the media and social media lately, but if you look at studies, macros of diets do not matter for weight loss long term.
