No Eating After 7pm

The time has nothing to do with it. It's all just calories in and calories out. However, if not eating passed a certain time makes it easier to stay within your caloric allotment, then that's what you should do. I love that old saying, "keep it simple stupid." I think "work smarter, not harder," may also apply here.0

I think that's hard to do, sleep on an empty stomach.0

I read that a little differently - for example, I weigh daily and my fluctuations are HUGE when I eat late. Not because of anything magical or special snowflake, but simply because sometimes I eat smaller portions that are more calorie-dense, sometimes I eat bigger portions that weigh more in my stomach but are less dense, sometimes I drink a lot of liquid with dinner, etc. If you eat late and then weigh before the food weight is all gone, then you'll probably experience more fluctuations, but the weekly weighing means you've lost enough weight overall that the fluctuations might not mask it.
That's how I saw that anyway
That makes sense, but I guess since I eat late almost every day I don't notice huge fluctuations from late night snacking because I usually eat about the same amounts every night. I guess if you only snacked late once or twice a week or if you really ate a huge amount at once that might be more common and then you would still need to make sure you didn't eat late the night before your weigh in day. I still don't think that it matters if you eat late and you are a daily weigher but it doesn't matter if you eat late for weekly weighers. I don't think it matters for either what time they eat.0 -
I don't eat after midnight, but that's for different reasons.1

I eat after 7pm. I save about 400 calories for nightly snacking. It helps tremendously since I'm not hungry during the day and only at night.1

That's even further logically disconnected from reality, because if you don't put enough fuel into your car to reach your destination, it doesn't matter whether you drive slower or faster, you won't reach your destination.
I get the analogy, but can we really compare the human body to a car?0
