    if you're eating a set cal number every day, then spread your cals out over the whole time that you're awake. That way you won't go over by the end of the day. Plan ahead, since you know you're probably gonna be hungry in the evening.

    Definitely me...although I found a solution...I have a cut off time for food, about 4 1/2 hours before I go to bed. Just before that cut off, I have 2C of popcorn, which helps keep me full longer, then I try to drink a couple of cups of water, because often "hunger" is just dehydration. Doing that AND going to bed on time, really helps keep me from evening "binges."

    I just make sure to save a enough calories for a bedtime snack which for me is usually 500 calories... Best of Luck

    I'm one of those people who eats the bulk of their calories in the evening. Breakfast is usually black coffee. Lunch, if I have it, tends to be around 200-300 calories. I often just grab a clif bar or eat some oatmeal while at work, because both are quick and more than enough to keep me going til I get home. Then I eat around 1500 calories between 6pm and bedtime (and usually some sort of 1am snack >.> ) Many people have had success with this type of intermittent fasting, and as others have said, meal timing itself is irrelevant to weight loss. The only reason timing would matter is if someone tends to overeat if they skip a meal or make bad decisions out of hunger.
