    Generally I eat dinner around 7, and stop then. Sometimes if I am still hungry after, I'll eat! Not too late though, as I usually go to bed around 10.

    I try to not eat after supper, which I have around 5:30PM. One of my biggest problems was pigging out on junk food or whatever else I felt like in the evenings, so to get out of that habit I don't eat at all after supper, not even healthy stuff.

    Usually I eat right up until I go to bed, which is generally between 1 and 2 am.

    When I fall asleep. I find it difficult to chew then...

    This. :)

    I eat right up until bedtime. Calorie deficit determines weight lost, not meal timing. Some people find that eating close to bedtime hinders sleep, but I've never had that problem. I usually leave at least 300 calories for after dinner snacking. When my husband is deployed it's more like 600. :blushing:

    I try to have my last meal of the day before 7, although with my work schedule it's not always possible. Because I am diabetic I usually have a small snack before I go to bed but I have to be careful what it is or else I wake up in the middle of the night with heartburn. That's mainly the reason I don't like to eat too late in the evening anyway. I do have the snack just to help keep my blood glucose levels okay through the night.

    When I feel like it.

    Especially considering I know it is false that you have to stop eating at a certain time or it turns into fat. I mean, really? How did this come about anyway?

    I was just curious what time in the day you stop eating. I tend not to eat after 8pm in the evening, not sure why but I always think anything that I eat after that will just sit idle in my stomach and could slow down weight loss.

    It's an old wives tale. Your stomach doesn't recognize time of day. The recommendation to stop eating after 8:00 became popular because it's really a way to get people to stop snacking in front of the TV. It has nothing to do with biology.

    I stop eating when I'm no longer hungry. Sometimes I'm okay after dinner (7:00). Sometimes I need a little snack before bed.

    Not exactly an Old Wives Tale. But ignored by most without huge issues. Circadian rhythms are real and food is the biggest pusher of our circadian rhythm. In fact food is more important than light!

    Shift Work and Hypothyroidism

    If circadian rhythms are important for thyroid function, we would expect shift workers to have high rates of hypothyroidism. Shift workers sleep during the day and eat at night, which disrupts circadian rhythms.

    It turns out that shift work doubles the risk of autoimmune hypothyroidism:

    meal timing is arbitrary. however, i usually stop eating an hour or so before going to bed. i find it easier to fall asleep that way.

    No set time. I eat my supper around 7-8PM, but since I don't go to bed until around 3AM I more than likely eat something around midnight.

    8 PM, if I am midway thru my dark choc. and I get side tracked, usually with my 3 yr old grand-daughter, and it gets to be after 8, I wrap it up for the next day.....I know, I know, I'm a little OCD that way :)

    I eat until I brush my teeth and go to bed. Haven't had any problems not losing so far, or any problems sleeping or with indigestion.
