Is using 2/3 of my calories in the evening bad?

AngelofTroy

I'm trying to lose my baby weight, and am on a calorie goal of 1530. It seems to be going really well so far, I'm 3 weeks in and have lost 9.5lb so far. However, I'm finding that I tend to only eat around 250 calories for breakfast (usually porridge and fruit) and 250-350 calories for lunch (varies but some examples are: salad, hummous and pitta bread, soup and a roll or an innocent veg pot). So I end up having the majority of my calories in the evening, especially if I|'ve earned some exercising. I quite like this as it means I don't need to worry about cooking separately from my partner when he gets home, I can just enjoy a reasonably healthy meal with him, and sometimes a hot chocolate or a small sweet treat after the baby is in bed. But is this bad practice? Will it affect my weight loss to consume most of my calories only 3 hours or so before bed? I don't want to lower my calorie intake as I'm still breast feeding a couple of feeds a day. I order 'graze' boxes for healthy snacks so try to eat one of those during the day if I can see I'm below my goal.

Anyone know if this is going ruin my weight loss? Should I be making an effort to have more lunch?

Eat whenever or how many calories you want for each meal. In the end, it won't affect weight loss. Its more about getting enough calories to fuel your body rather than when you get it.
