Saving calories for night?

travelbug

In the morning and while at work I can be strict with with how I eat, mainly because I look forward to eating while relaxing at home. Is it ok to save (regular and workout) calories during the day for snacking later on or am I just packing on calories too late? I stay within my calories and eat well the rest of the day but after dinner a few treats seem to make all the veggies taste better.

I think I subconsciously do this because I'm afraid of getting to the end of the day with no calories and getting hungry.
I'm pretty sure its best to spread them out evenly through the day in multiple equally portioned meals, but as long as you stay within the limits, I don't think there should be too much of a problem.
Just be sure you are eating throughout the day to keep your metabolism up and you should be fine.

Great. I'm glad I asked only 4 days into this plan. That was a good article. The easiest thing may be for me to wake up at 10am and sleep by 7pm so my calories get me through the day without hoarding them at night. kidding, but I could use the sleep. lol!
I will try again tomorrow and every day after to keep on track.
