i stick to my calorie goal the whole day then at around 10-12 at night i'll have a snack as i noticed it helps me sleep much better, i count these calories from these late snacks as calories for the next day, is this okay to do aslong as i stick to my calorie goal?

    As long as you count them somewhere, it's fine. Your body doesn't reset at midnight or anything 🙂

    It doesn't matter. You could add a new diary category for midnight snack and log it on the day where the night starts. I think you can only add new categories on the website. But yeah, when you eat what doesn't matter. Your body counts it but doesn't care about today or tomorrow.

    Think of calories on a weekly basis.
    Add up 7 days of calories and divide that by 7. If this number is at or slightly below your daily calorie target then you’re doing fine.

    If you go to the NUTRITION category on the menu you will see a 7 day average. This is what to look at.

    Your body repairs itself when you sleep so getting some nutrients in before is a good thing if it fits you calorie goals

    That's what I do, too. Lost 45 pounds in the last 10 months.
