    Doesn't matter in terms of weight loss when you eat. I guess if you eat right before bed you might get heartburn...

    This. If you have a bunch of high fat or acidic foods right before bed, you're gonna have a bad time.

    I had a philosophy instructor who liked to go on and on about the weird dreams he had after eating cheese right before bed.

    Oh man, I knew someone that said that if they ate certain foods before bed, they would get nightmares. lol

    I have heard to stop eating 2-3 hours before bedtime. When I did that it made the weight come off faster :)

    Lol, no...

    Since I keep such unconventional hours, I eat 'dinner' between 1:30-2:30 a.m. EST. I have 'breakfast' or in my case, a bedtime snack, with DH consisting of cinnamon raisin toast and coffee every morning between 6-6:15 a.m. before he goes to work and then I go to bed 30-45 minutes after that. It hasn't effected my weight loss in the least. *points to ticker*

    As long as you stick to your 24 hr. (or even weekly) calorie deficit, I believe it really doesn't matter what time you eat your meals. :)

    I can't eat one bite of anything after 4pm. Even if I'm under my total food goal, and have a rice cake I'll gain 1-3 lbs overnight. It's the weirdest thing ever. No one ever believes me, but my mom is the same way. It's just all about you I guess.

    Can't think why on earth no one believes you........

    Eating all kinds of food so close to bedtime; it always made him have these nightmares it seems . . . poor little Nemo!

    Also, nice 2010 bump to state a terrible "general rule of thumb"

    Dang! What is with people bumping ancient posts tonight?
