When is it too late to grab a snack? I've that you should never eat anything past eight o'clock, but sometimes it's hard to make the cut off.

    It's 2:10 AM and I'm eating popcorn haha as long as you're in your calorie goal, go for it. I say the later you eat (as long as it's healthy) the longer your metabolism is going to keep going to do it's job

    I've heard that it doesn't matter how late you eat as long as you are staying within your calorie goals and all. The main reason people shouldn't eat late at night is that they're more tempted to go over their goals, so I'd say you're good. If you want something super light but still filling, you could try air-popped popcorn or celery - they're my go-tos! :D

    Myth!
    As long as you account for the calories, you can eat any time that works for you.

    I think the reason this myth hangs around is that some people stop eating after (x)pm and lose weight - my guess is that it means they don't mindlessly snack all evening which means reduces overall calories which means weight loss.
