    The time of day you eat makes absolutely no difference to weight loss so long as you remain at a calorie deficit. You may find you weigh a little more the next morning because of the undigested food you still have in your gut, however, not to mention risk heartburn/acid reflux.

    3500 calories above your TDEE will cause you to gain a pound.. It does not matter when you eat, what you eat or where you eat it!!!

    Plain and Simple.

    However.... It might affect your digestion (Heartburn, Acid Reflux) etc.
