Eat if you're hungry.
If you don't eat them, don't beat yourself up the next time you go over by a few calories. It's all about balance.0 -
I just had 200 calories of ice cream.0

I've been having the same issue (net calories) and I struggle with not wanting to eat too close to bedtime but knowing that I am not doing my metabolism any good if I'm not eating the required number of daily calories (for me its 1200). I will keep trying, though!
you need those 1200 calories. If you're eating less than that, you're not doing yourself any favors.
Are we talking you should EAT at least 1200 or NET 1200? i have always been confused by this haha0 -
Never ever eat after 2.p.m! It's too close to bed time and your body counts EVERY minute meticulously to ensure you don't eat too close to bed time. Your body store every morsel eaten after 2.p.m right on your backside while you sleep!0

Eat if you're hungry, if you're not don't. I have literally over 700 calories left, it's 11:30 at night (and I count anything I eat for the day starting at 12 midnight even if I stay up past that) but I just had a snack because I was hungry and now I'm not hungry and I still have those calories left. It'll be okay because other days especially recently I've been closer to it and 1 day I was over.
The calorie limit and goal is a general line, you might be under or overestimating some foods unless you weigh and measure everything exactly and are always logging the exact same brand that you're actually eating because every one is slightly different.
If you're close I wouldn't worry about it.0 -
Don't eat. I wouldn't recommend eating after 8 except maybe a little veggies.
Um. Why?
This is wive's tale that still circulates amongst the community that thinks they can lose weight from a pill. They think there are "tricks" like eating breakfast to boost your metabolism.0 -

Really?? 2 pm? so what you don't eat dinner? that's so stupid. Eat small meals throughout the day, if you have calories left and are actually hungry (drink water first) no matter what time eat, just have something healthy and small. As long as you're not eating like right before bed your body will be working to work it off, if I go to bed at 2 am I should not go 12 hours without eating anything, that is how you slow down your metabolism0 -

It's hard to when the forums have erupted with a gaggle of people full of genius bits of knowledge JUST like that. My sarcasm-o-meter pegged in the red earlier this week. It's just gonna get worse as it the new folks get here and ask simple questions.. only to be confronted with "well, so and so said I shouldn't eat after 7... another said 2" then we all get subpoenaed because someone starved themselves to death.0 -

Oh, ok, because I was under the impression you should never EAT less than 1200 calories so that is what I have been doing and then exercising about 400 or so calories per day so netting about 800 or a little more...too little?0 -

that's adorable, your diary is open though. Try again.0 -
There's a difference between eating at bedtime and eating after a certain time. My old work schedule had me working until 11pm or 12am at night. So my "normal" bedtime was between 1-2 am. It was perfectly fine to eat at midnight! My current schedule has me going to be around 10pm, so I'm not going to eat a meal at 9:30pm. It's all about moderation and it's based on YOUR schedule. The rule of thumb is to not eat within 2 hours of going to bed. So if you go to sleep at 10pm, try not to eat after 8pm. If you go to bed at 2am, try not to eat after midnight. It's that simple.0
