    6:00-7:30 PM - I try not to eat past 8:00PM but sometimes unavoidable.

    I like to eat somewhat early. Normal for me is 5:30-6 but I am fine with eating as late as 7. I am usually pretty hungry when I get off work at 5:00. Not so hungry that I can't wait awhile though.

    I am not a snacker. I very rarely have a snack. I eat breakfast at 7 am, lunch around 11:30-12, and then dinner. If I have calories left for a "treat" I make it part of dinner usually.

    This is just what makes me feel most satisfied. Everyone is different!

    I eat dinner when it works for my schedule/when I'm hungry. Typically, this means between about 5:30/6:00, or if I workout directly after work it means 6:30/7:00. I think what you probably want to watch is how close to be you are eating, and how much you are eating relative to how close to bed you are. Example, I wouldn't be eating a massive dinner at 7:00 and then heading to bed at 9:00 because I wouldn't have been able to digest my food or use the energy I am getting from it.

    I eat dinner around 8:30 PM. I don't know how people do 5-6 or whatever....I'm barely getting home from the office at 6/6:30. On gym nights I don't get home until 7:30.

    Same here, though we are usually around 4:30-5:00pm.

    My big meal of the day is at lunch, so supper time is usually something light and I eat it after my family does. Their supper is between 5-6pm, so my kitchen is shut down for the night (no snacking after supper), usually by 6:30ish :)
  • I eat dinner whenever I am hungry and end up making it.

    The old rule of not eating before bed, and having a good breakfast to start your day doesn't really exist anymore (not unless you like it).

    New research states that it doesn't matter when you get calories just as long as you reach your calorie goal.
