What time do you have your 1st and last meal of the day

littleblonde200

The title says it all really. But does it matter when you do? We get up around 930am at the moment (have 2 young children so i am sure this will change), i am normally eating breakfast by 10am then we have dinner at 530pm and i sometimes have a snack at 730pm. We go bed around 10/11pm. Just wondering about everyone else? And does it make a difference to your weightloss

I normally have breakfast between 8-9 am and then my last meal would be 7pm.

I typically don't eat until noon at the earliest, sometimes 2-3pm. I am awake at 630am on average. I eat until I run out of calories, consuming most of them later in the evening. I like to go to bed full.

Around 9-10am for the first, 8-10pm for the last.

I like to skip breakfast (just coffee) to make it easier to stay under my calorie goal. Sometimes I eat a snack around 10, sometimes I don't eat until lunch at 11:30 or 12.

No. Mean timing/frequency does not matter.

I get up at 8, I eat breakfast around 11, lunch around 1-2, snack around 5, dinner around 7, another little snack around 8, then I go to bed at 11.

To answer your post question first: No, it doesn't matter when you eat.

I generally eat as soon as I get up. On non-bicycle-commute days, that means brekkies at 6:45 or so (oatmeal, egg). On cycle-commute days, it's a slice of bread and a glass of water before I set out at 6:30, then a large helping of refrigerator oatmeal when I arrive at work around 8.

My last food of the day is usually a light snack or dessert around 8-9PM.

i just changed my schedule! i want to eat alot after my kids go to bed....bad choices. so now i am going to start at 11 ish and eat dinner around 8 to prevent me from grabbing just anything when i have time to myself! hope this works !

Me too. I eat my small breakfast around 11 and I still lose weight. I don't feel that I need to eat the moment I wake up.

I fast from 9pm to 1pm. I just recently started Intermittment fasting and love it very much! I found that I would eat great that morning but came time afternoon I would snack on everything. But for some reason eating only from 1pm to 9pm helps me to control then snacking and I eat a more balanced meal. besides I usual have my dinner around 5:30-6 and feel full until the next day.

lizziebeth1028

Usually have my oatmeal and 2 hard boiled eggs (whites only) at 9am

Dinner around 8:30pm after I work out

Justagirl1978

Wake at 6.30am, first meal is at 3pm and last meal at 9pm

sarahharmintx

Up at 5:30a. Breakfast at 9ish. Dinner anywhere from 7p-9p. Bed at 11p or 12p.

wolfi622

Up at 6, Breakfast at 7. Last meal at about 6 pm

Meg_78

First meal is at 6.30am, last at 11.30pm (snack), I eat all day long.

I don't know if it matters when you eat, I think your metabolism is what it is and I don't know how much it can really be changed. I have a very fast metabolism, I eat small meals and snacks all the time, I'm hungry almost all the time but get full quickly, so I eat for my entire waking time, 3 main meals and an abundance of snacks, and I eat a lot in the evening, probably at least 1/4-1/3 of my daily cal intake between 7-12pm. I have always been this way.

loztredders

Breakfast at 7.30 am and dinner which is my last meal at 7pm ish.

Brittany3914

I eat breakfast between 7:00-7:30 on work days and maybe a little earlier or later depending on my schedule. I work between 9-5 on M-F. If I go to the gym after that, I'm usually not home until 6:30 or so. There's nights when I eat dinner at 7 or 8.. sometimes 9pm. As long as you don't binge and go way over your daily calorie limit, it doesn't matter what time of day you consume your calories.

SCVSarah

I wake up at 7:30 and usually have breakfast at 9. I go to bed around 11 or 12 and usually have a snack around 9

ATOLLIT

I tend to have breakfast about half an hour before I need to go out, so usually around 8am. But when I have no teaching in the morning I won't have breakfast til 11/12. Then dinner is normally around 7/7.30pm depending on what else I plan to do in the evening. I've noticed that I eat 1/3-1/2 of my calories just in my evening meal, as it's the evenings when I tend to be hungriest and have more time to go find food if I want it, so having a big dinner stops me from wanting to snack from dinnertime until I go to bed (around 11pm usually). I go often have some herby tea or hot chocolate just before bed to help make me sleepy, so I don't know if you count that as the last meal.

Jay_Jay_

I am intermittent fasting 16/8, wake up at 6 am. First meal at 12 pm, last meal before 8pm.

acting101girl

I usually wake up at around 8 or 7:30 and I used to eat right when I woke up but then I started waiting till 9 and now I just wait until I am hungry:) which Is usually around 9-10:30 and I usually eat a protein bar and banana:)! And my last snack is probably around 9-11 or just whenever I get hungry:) of I'm not active after dinner I might not eat again.

V3ggieL0vinGinger

I am a ridiculously early riser so I get up around 6 (yes, even on weekends!) and eat breakfast between 6 and 7. I usually have dinner between 5 and 6 and then I'll most likely snack until about 9:30 or 10.

ebonyroche

During the week, I eat around 830 or 9am but on the weekends I don't eat until 11 or 12. I sleep as long as our daughter lets me and thats when I eat.

Impy84

Pretty much whenever I feel like it. Some days i wake at 4am days im not working i wake around 6 or 7 so it's whenever im hungry. I don't restrict my eating in that manner

MoonGazer91

At the moment on my work days I am usually eating at around 5am - usually a nice bowl of pasta with various sources of protein/fat in it as I find it keeps me going longer than just toast does since I then won't get a chance to eat until after 1pm and my last lot of food is usually at around 8pm-12am since if I go to bed early and then wake up say 7 hours later, I find I sometimes feel faint in the morning for not eating for so long - I haven't had this since having a late night snack.

mmapags

Varies from day to day. No specific pattern. Bottom line: timing of nutrition doesn't matter.

PinkAndSparkle

Breakfast around 6 on weekdays, then my last snack is around 8 or 9...I try not to eat later than that because I get really bad reflux if I go to bed full.

NitroS1988

I find it soo hard to eat in the morning but i will always aim to have a banana and a innocent smoothie (strawberry flavour) either before work or i will take it to work and have at my desk (so either around 8am or 930am). My last meal i am trying to eat at 7pm if i can manage it and have tried to cut out all after dinner snacks as they are not good!
