    I personally don't eat after 8pm b/c Bob from The Biggest Loser told me not to. Not scientific, I know.

    I stop eating at 9pm, but not because of some extra weight I might lose. I do it curb my late night snack fests and its really seemed to help. I have dinner around 8 or 9 and thats it. No more late night chocolates, nuts or other fun snacks. Its really helped me get in check with my eating. I'm up till 1 or 2 am everyday and I get bored and had awful snacking habbits.

    I don't eat any snacks that aren't recorded, so I don't really worry about snacking late, but if I'm short on calories, and hungry, I'll eat regardless of the time. Eating dinner at 10pm is nothing unusual.

    Having a late meal doesn't seem to have impaired my weight loss as far as I can tell.

    It really depends on the person. If you tend to be a mindless snacker - ie, grab a carton of ice cream or a bag of chips to unwind and sit in front of the tv after 7 - then yes, this is a good rule to follow.

    If this isn't an issue for you, then ignore it. I firmly believe in the eating every 2-3 hours rule. I eat dinner at 6 PM and am hungry at 9 PM, so I eat a snack. It's a planned, thought-out snack that's always incorporated into my daily calorie count.
