what is the latest time i should eat?

minkakross

see my ticker... 1 day a week I eat before 7, 6 days a week I can usually sit down to dinner by 8 but sometimes it's as late as 10. I often have a snack after dinner. calories are not comparable to Cinderella's magic carriage they do not turn into pumpkins AKA gain magical calories just because it gets dark, nor do our bodies stop burning fuel, it's not like we even stop when we're sleeping guts keep churning, heart keeps beating etc...

You gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn. Period. I eat a snack almost every evening around 11-11:30. I don't eat breakfast until 1 in the afternoon. And my lunch is yogurt and fruit most of the time, very light. And my dinner is usually HUGE. I have lost 64 pounds so far. BUT---I also move A FREAKING LOT! Usually 8-10 miles a day. Move more, eat less. More veg, no twinkies. Chocolate and a glass of wine often. Exercise enough to use those empty calories. May not work for anyone else, but it is working for me.

I'm not sure where that myth of late eating causing a problem comes from.

does anybody avoid eating late, does it help?

When you are out of calories. Meal timing has no effect on weight loss.

Meal timing and frequency make no difference.
