    I'm never sure about that, usually if I eat late-night, but still before I fall asleep, I log it with the previous day. If I wake up hungry, I have a lil celery/carrots and a glass of something to sip on, then back to bed and I log it when I wake up with that current day.

    Because of my shift pattern I split my diary into hours, 6 x 4hr slots. If thats any help.

    Depends on what time you wake up normally and when you go to bed. I try to go to bed by 10, if I have to eat anything (50 calories only for that late) after that, it goes on the next day.

    I added a middle of the night 3-4am slot to my diary. I work night shifts and this seems to help me keep on track. I use the 24hour clock--so i record my intake for each 24 time frame.
