    It doesn't really matter what time you eat at. Your body doesn't stop functioning when you are asleep.

    Yes it's fine.
    It's also ok to eat at 11:55 and go to bed 12:00. It makes no difference when you eat.

    If you're hungry, eat! If not, don't. Timing makes no difference as previous posters stated. :)

    the only reason I would suggest not eating right before bed, is if you have a condtion like acid reflux.

    Yes, I eat right before bed and don't believe it's a bad thing so long as I am in deficit and not pigging out before sleep.

    Psh. I have a late snack, brush my teeth, and go to sleep. I reached my GW doing that every single day. Calories in, calories out. You'll be fine.

    You can eat however you want, at any time of day or night. It's as simple as: Calorie deficit = loss, calorie surplus = gain.

    yes.
    But I don't agree with those saying it doesn't matter. While your body does function while asleep, it doesn't need as many calories and there's no sense giving it several hundred calories that won't get burned up as they would during the day. I think it's better to finish eating long enough before you go to bed to at least get the food out of your stomach and into your digestive system.

    I always thought Mogwai would be a great pet to have around. It's Gremlins that I would hate to have around.

    ^ exactly.

    I get where you're coming from. Some people claim that if you eat before sleep that you'll gain weight, but that's only if you have a caloric surplus. Also, some believe that if you go to sleep on an empty stomach that your body will work on burning the excess fat on your body, instead of trying to use or store the energy you just took in. This theory, however, isn't backed up well enough and only applies to people who eat a surplus or binge.

    My advice would be to keep it light and be sure it fits into your caloric goal.

    You can eat whenever you want during the day. It's all about calories in vs calories out in the long run... Timing really makes no difference at all.

    The only reason I eat a couple hours before sleep is because I get crazy nightmares or too realistic dreams and they really mess me up the next morning. But that could just be me! Hahaha.
