    I never stop. I save a couple hundred calories end of the day for late snack. midnight restarts the diary, yay! 1500 is hard! But I was there in April/May.

    I gained forty pounds in a years time, due to eating late and then falling asleep. Now I eat my dinner at 6 pm then close the kitchen. Plus I wasn't working out at all just stressed everyday.

    Whenever... In regards to weight loss or dieting, your body doesn't care when you eat or stop eating.

    no - you gained forty pounds by eating extra calories and falling asleep. i eat right before bed - usually cereal and milk - and i've been losing weight very steadily doing this because i budget my calories. i always save at least 200 for my bedtime snack.

    calories don't know when you eat them. i shoot for 1200 net calories per day, haven't missed once and haven't had a week where i haven't lost at least a little weight, averaging 1 pound loss per week.

    Gaining forty pounds was a product of eating at a surplus, not WHEN you ate. No offense, of course... There's just no scientifically proven studies that suggest meal timing matters.

    I always save a few calories (100-200) for a snack or glass of milk before going to bed. I just cannot sleep on an empty stomach.

    ^this. I've lost 53 lbs eating a large portion of my calories less than an hour for bed.

    I like my snacks *shrugs*

    It's personal preference. Eat when you feel best, stay within your respective calorie goals for your desired results.

    Last night I ate like 1000 calories before bed. As long as you don't get an upset tummy, there's nothing wrong with it.

    i usually stop when my calorie allowance for the day is met or it's bed time...
    ^ This. Stopping when you're at your allowance is key. It sucks when that's 11:00 AM. But it's the only way proven to make you lose weight (calorie deficit). If you got to your goal by 11:00 AM, go do 300 calories worth of exercise so that you can have some fish and veggies and rice for dinner (or what have you).

    I don't have an "official" stop time for eating. Unless we are having ice cream "later", I typically don't eat anything after supper, which is normally around 6 pm. (If we are having ice cream, that's usually at 8 pm.) Bed time is around 9-9:30. And the blasted alarm goes off at 5 am.

    I go to bed at 9 on school nights. So I stop eating at 9 pm.

    I don't eat when I'm sleeping. That's pretty much the only "don't eat after" rule I don't break.
