Is there any guideline or suggestions as to how many calories (protein, fat and carbs) should be consumed at each meal or does it totally depend on your own activity level. I always figured you do not want too big a meal 3 hours before bedtime as it does not get worked off.

Thanks, Karen.

    I have heard calories can't tell time. :bigsmile: I don't think it matters, I'm sure someone will disagree, I haven't had a problem even if I eat later.

    The best of luck to you :smile:

    Personally, I like to eat bigger dinner than breakfast or lunch. It puts me in the zone for night time and winds me down.

    This isn't mean to mean that I sacrifice my lunch and breakfasts to have a bigger dinner. I exercise 5 times a week and eat the calories I burn from exercise during my dinner rather than throughout the day.

    I've always known that eating before bedtime is a myth:

    Myth 4. The late dinner leads to excess weight
    Dieticians consider that the late dinner does not affect our figure, provided that we don't overeat, not exceed our daily norm of calories and if the late dinner is not the only meals during the day. What exactly we eat before night is important also. Sometimes people leave most tasty meals for the evening, considering that after the working day they have deserved some special entertainment.
