    Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the feedback!

    I'd like to remain a Mogwai :)

    Once, I was eating dinner on an airplane. It was 7PM when I started, but then we crossed a timezone so I ended up eating after 8. I immediately gained 5 lbs. It was horrible. ;)

    Hi, I was wondering people's opinions on eating later at night.

    I get off work at 11pm and am always hungry after work and usually have calories left over to be able to eat something. So I'm wondering if any of you have found that eating later affected your weight loss?

    I don't get up until around 11am since I work late and am not ready for bed as soon as I get home - so I don't really eat breakfast, it's more like lunch that I eat before work and then eat my supper at work and then like to have a snack when I get home. Thanks!

    Nope.

    You can eat whatever you want and anytime you want and it won't affect your weight loss as long as you stay within your calorie allowance.

    OOOO I wanna be a gremlin!

    I will have a snack if I'm hungry before bed, but if I eat too much, I'm super hungry when I wake up, for some reason :frown:

    And I have WEIRD dreams.

    I say eat whenever you feel hungry. Just make it a healthy meal.

    Doesn't matter. Calories are for an entire day 24 hours.

    If you want a good case study for eating at night and still losing weight, just take a look at my diary. Some days, I eat about half of my calories after 8pm, and I go to bed at 10pm. It has not stalled my weight loss.

    I gained all my weight eating late at night. But, I also lost all my weight eating late at night. Now I am (more or less) maintaining and improving fitness while eating late at night. Every night.

    Personally I don't eat for about an hour before i go to bed, but i'll finish off a glass of wine right on bedtime.

    So you think food has calories, but wine doesn't?

    Your body burns calories while you are sleeping. Lots of them. Even if you aren't moving around, it still takes a lot of energy to support your organs, muscles, etc. So don't listen to people who say you aren't going to burn any of the calories you eat if you eat them after a certain time. The only time your body stops burning calories is when you assume room temperature.
