Does anyone else do this?

relucas81

Its 11:50, I am starving... so I am staying up til midnight to have a bowl of raisin bran which I can count towards tomorrow's breakfast calories :P I can't be the only one out there!

lilpoindexter

Nope, you're not alone...lol.

I consider sleeping is a fasting period so the day starts after I done fasting overnight.

koen612

i do it too, haha im always hungry before bed and in the middle of the night

lisamarie2181

I think it really recycles after u sleep, not really by time - but i do it too sometimes lol

relucas81

Middle of the night is a big one for me too! If I go to bed early, I usually wake up at like 3:00 am and have to eat!

relucas81

It actually wind up being a couple of homemade peanut butter cookies, 190 calories not bad

Your kind of cheating your self when you do that. But if thats what suits you go for it.

smokinjackd

Can't say I do that, I'll take the hit and just go over.

chauncyrenayCHANGED

Haha. No. My day starts when I wake up and ends when I go to sleep.

PaleoRDH

LOL!!! nope I've NEVER done that.......... I'd just have the raisin bran at 11:30 and say "F*IT I just had me a bowl of cereal" and go to bed! If it puts me over with the calorie Gods............ so be it. :glasses:

My biological clock likes to behave as if days are 28-30 hours long, so occasionally I feel obligated to start logging what I eat after midnight as the next day's calories so I don't end up skipping a day completely. :grumble:

Ditto what she said -:bigsmile: I am real nocturnal and not working right now, so I tend to wake up late and stay up late.:yawn: my 12 :00 pm is like other folks 7:00 pm. I figure i need to count my noshing somewhere-

I used to to be retroactive- and go back and list it on the prior day, nowadays I'm more proactive and list stuff I eat post 12 pm on the next day.

These days Im trying not to snack as much after 12, :noway:
I need the extra calories saved for bigger dinners, since my hubby is now home every night for din din, and Ive been cooking more often, and more fattening foods for him - my meat and tater guy.

Nope I did it last night. If I am eating a snack at 2 am or w/e it goes towards breakfast.

How the heck does it really matter if you count it that night or the next morning?? It doesn't. At the end of the week, you've eaten X calories regardless.

TheRealParisLove

I count my calories between each sleep on the same day. My husband does add calories into the next day if he eats them after midnight.

To each their own. If it works for you, then by all means, keep it up!

ObtainingBalance

Hahaaa. Sorry, didn't expect the post to sound so cheery when I opened it!

You're silly.

yes, that's normal. I don't really stay up past midnight much with school this year, but if I eat that late... it's sort of a late night binge and I don't add it towards tomorrow.

Thats a good idea, never thought of adding extra as tomorrows "breakfast" .

EnchantedEvening

Just eat the cereal and log it. Your calories should be a weekly balance, not daily. The daily number is just to help you stay on-track if you want to lose X pounds per week.

Cait_Sidhe

I used to do that, but I wound up with too few calories the next day. It all averages out anyway. It doesn't matter whether you log it today or tomorrow in the long run.

jazee11

All my food gets logged between waking in the morning til right up until bedtime. I don't get up in the middle of the night and eat. My BFF's husband does get up and make himself something after he has gone to bed. He can't sleep cuz the hunger wakes him.

This /\ :bigsmile:

MissSusieQ

uh, can't say i've ever done that! usually i can psyche myself into just waiting till the morning by having a cup of tea and telling myself 'you've eaten the same thing you ate two days ago, and you weren't hungry then, so you're not hungry now!' often what feels like hunger is really thirst anyway.

in respect to your overall progress, and the varied responses regarding when the logging day starts, i don't think it really matters whether you start logging from midnight or from when you wake up, as long as you do it the same way all the time.

Hope that was just the best bowl of raisin bran you've ever eaten and it fulfilled your every desire

floridachikk

I work the night shift, and my sleep times vary wildly. The only way for me to have any consistency is to log calories on the day they were consumed. 11:30PM goes on that day, 12:01AM it goes on the new day. It's still a 24-hour time frame and should balance out with one complete sleep/wake cycle.

HelenDootson

Go for a walk to earn the extra and then eat the cereal as todays or you will be in the same boat tomorrow - Good luck

kimiel51

If I stay up too late I get hungry and have to have a snack! As long as it's a small, healthy snack, I don't see a problem!
