    As long as you don't eat over your recommended calorie intake it is.

    YES!! It's a myth that eating after a certain hour makes you gain weight. Most of the time I don't get home till like 9 so that's when I eat dinner. Eat whenever you want. Be it early in the morning, before bed, many times a day, or all in one sitting. The only thing that matters is calories in vs calories out, as well as your macros and nutrients of course. :)

    There is very little evidence to suggest that eating food later rather than early has much impact, as long as your overall calorie intake is within your healthy range. I never got these questions....
