What time do you guys cut off the eating for the night? Or how many hours before going to bed, is the better question.

Right before I go to bed which is usually right around 12:30am-1am.

I don't go by time, I go by total consumed. But if I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat.0
-
no set time......sometimes I'm done by 8pm other times I eat till midnight or later....depends on the day/circumstances.0
-
I don't. If I'm hungry at 11pm and have calories left you'd better believe I'm going to use them.0
-
if i have calories left and i want to eat i do. no set time. I chart midnight to midnight. I do alot of weird shifts at work.0
-
I try to stop eating at least an hour before bed, but that's for my reflux, not weight loss.0
-
I work the night shift 7p - 7a. So, my cut-off is around 9am!0
-
I don't get home most nights right now till after 7. Cooking and eating comes after that, and in the winter it's later some nights so I can't even begin to give anyone a time that I cut off eating.0
-
I don't, if I have calories and I'm hungry I eat them. I track from the time I wake up in the morning til the time I go to bed at night.0
-
I go to bed regularly at 10:00PM Sunday-Thursday and I have my last snack no later than 8:00PM. I think the quality of sleep is as important as what and when I eat!0
-
I ate my dinner about 40min ago (9:30p-ish). The time of meals doesn't matter0
-
On a work night, I dont get home till 6ish. Then 2 work nights a week I go to the gym. So I don't actually eat dinner sometimes till almost 9. I eat then go to bed a bout an hour or so later.
I pretty much try to cut it off at about an hour before bedtime so I am not going to bed on a totally full tummy. But if I am hungry I will eat, or if I am below my cals.0 -
When I'm asleep.
Or my calories for the day are all used up (mostly)0 -
whenever i hit my calories for the day lol. sometimes its at 9pm, sometimes its like 10 minutes before bedtime.0

I Work nights... and sometimes when I get home I am too tired to snack... I sometimes wake up in the middle of my sleep and have a snack (something small and protieny)0 -
I don't cut off the calories, if I have some left over and I am hungry I eat. I always add the extra even though I already completed my diary for the day.0
-
I stop eating when my calories are all used up. I don't have a problem eating right before bed. Doesn't bother me at all.0
-
I get up at 10am and am up til 2am. I like to eat anywhere from 6pm to 9pm. If I am not too lazy. For some reason, I like to eat right at the beginning of a show or sporting event. I am not sure why that is. I don't own a microwave by choice, so any food I make is cooked, which takes effort and time.0
-
when my eyes close.0
-
i consume most of my calories right before bed ;0 (** gasps***
i know im a very bad girl!!0 -
I don't get hungry at night, for some reason. For me, it's a big breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner. Dinner's anywhere between 5:30 and 7:00, but I don't have any strict 'I will not eat after X-pm' rule. I like to sleep early and wake up early0
-
Until recently, I was just eating right before I went to bed. Now I cut-off my eating before 8pm (early, I know).
I get home from work at around 10:30pm and I have a bad habit of snacking on high-calorie foods after work.
I think it's okay to go to bed a little hungry
But right now...I'm snacking on pickles lol0 -
I have no cut off time and my sleep schedule is irregular, so I might have my last bite hours before to right before I fall asleep. Hasn't affected my weight loss as far as I can tell.0
-
If I'm hungry, I'll eat no matter what time it is. Obviously not a full meal but a good snack.0
-
I typically goto bed at around 5 AM so I guess around that time?0
-

I have my diary set up in 3 hour chunks of time rather than by meals and snacks. If I'm hungry or haven't reached my goal for the day, I eat, but I like to have a little time before actual sleep time. Midnight is the latest though0 -
I like to have a yummy milk drink when I go to bed. I find that if I go to bed full and satisfied, then I don't get up starving in the middle of the night or the next morning.0
-
I try not to eat in my sleep. Meal timing doesn't matter.0
-
9pm.... if I don't eat by then..... I don't eat. Simple.0
-
I don't eat after 4-5pm. If I HAVE to eat, it will be an apple or celery/carrot sticks.0
