Have you fasted all night so you could eat normally all day ?

Why, Robin? Is there something you're considering doing? Do you feel you need to stop eating because you've eaten too much during daytime or is it something else?

Um.

Yes.

I never eat while I'm sleeping.

Thing is, we all fast all night. I tend to front-load my day's food. I eat a substantial meal in the morning, then a snack, so I've eaten 70% of my food before noon. Then another good sized meal (and dessert) about three hours before bed. That sets me up for the best sleep.

Going 12 hours overnight without eating should not be considered fasting but something most people should do. Eating at night after dinner always added unneeded extra calories and weight gain for me.

I don't understand the question...what do you mean by "all night" and "all day"?
I don't typically eat after dinner until I have breakfast the next morning. That's "eating normally" for me.

Ridiculous question.

I eat up to 10:30 pm and then won't eat again till 12pm

For losing or maintaining weight, it doesn't matter when you eat, just how many overall calories you are eating. Some people do well by restricting calories after dinner to avoid snacking or don't eat in the morning because they aren't really hungry then. Others eat whenever they are hungry, whether that is bedtime or the middle of the night.

Please clarify the question. I'm going to assume you aren't referring to when we're sleeping, so don't know what you mean by "all night."

Sundown to sun up? That doesn't make sense this time of year here when sunset is at 4:27 PM.

After dinner to breakfast the next day? Sure, lots of people stop eating after dinner. I'm not sure that needs to be called "fasting" though, although it would fall under the Intermittent Fasting umbrella. I think Time Restricted Eating is a clearer description.

I don’t eat while sleeping so yep

I also don't understand the question, in ways others have described. And besides that, what does "eat normally" mean?

If you're asking whether some people limit the hours during which they eat, as part of a weight loss effort, yes they do. If limiting eating hours helps someone limit calories enough, that can work, even without counting calories. If limiting hours doesn't help them limit calories, it won't work. (Time Restricted Eating TRE), or Intermittent Fasting (IF) are what that's usually called.

I don't do it because that wouldn't work for me. eat anytime from about a hour after I get up in the morning (delay because there's a med I need to take first thing, then wait before eating), all the way up to literal bedtime . . . occasionally even in bed. Like others, of course I don't eat while sleeping. I lost weight fine, I can maintain weight fine.

I have a normal-for-me eating routine where I eat around my calorie goal (say +/- 50), and get good nutrition (structured goals to hit a protein minimum, a fat minimum, and a certain volume of veggies/fruits). Occasionally, I eat over goal calories, and don't worry about the nutritional details. (I don't consider these "cheat days", BTW.)

I haven't ever fasted (overnight or otherwise) in order to eat more later. I wouldn't enjoy that. I have eaten more lightly at breakfast/lunch if I know I have a bigger dinner in my plans, but want to stick to goal calories.

I think we all fast overnight unless we get up at 3am and have a pizza or something. Just understand that Fatloss is a product of a consistent WEEKLY calorie deficit over time and not a product of when you actually take in those calories.

Maybe Robin will come back.
Maybe they will not.
Maybe I do what the poll asks.
Maybe I do not
