When do start the next day if you stay up after midnight? After midnight or when you wake up?

    You choose.
    Your body doesn't clock on and off at midnight - just pick a system that works for you and stick to it.

    It doesn't matter, as long as you count them somewhere. I count my day from when I wake up, until I go to sleep, so if I eat before bed, but after midnight, it goes on the previous day's diary. It really doesn't matter though, your body doesn't reset every 24 hours, so it al works out in the end.

    choose a cutoff time...this is the easiest...if you usually stay up till 1am for instance.....then make that your cutoff.....then no matter what you do...stay up after 1am or go to sleep before.........if you eat after that time even by a minute then it counts for the next day....then all your readings will be consistent.

    My new day of calorie counting starts at midnight.

    Many tme I go to sleep at 8 or 9pm to keep me from giving into cravings.
