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

    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.
