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....
