Although I technically ate my late night snacks at 1am this morning, I'm not sure if i should place the calories for yesterday or today. I didn't go to bed until 3am and then slept for 6 hours. (I know none of this is healthy, had a bad day of the sort) Anyways I don't normally start counting my calories of the day until at least 8am most days, surely my body is on a routine as well. I'm mostly asking because I already ate up my calories for the day if I do put those snacks on today...

I would consider a 'day' being from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed....you're body doesn't know what time it is.0

It doesnt matter - so long as your weekly cals add up to around your goal all is well xx0

I work nights. I count calories from noon to noon, even if I decide to sleep during the night like a normal person. I would just pick a time to switch days and be consistant.0

This, I totally agree! what about people who work nights, going by the clock wouldn't work for them!0 -
i have my days set as
00:01 - 04:00
04:01 - 08:00
08:01 - 12:00
12:01 - 16:00
16:01 - 20:00
20:01 - 24:00
i do this to keep track of WHEN i am hungry and HOW hungry i am at that time. so if i eat something at 1 or 2 am, i log it as 1 or 2 am on the day i ate it.0
