    If it works for you, great!

    Not realistic for me. I don't leave work until 5 (getting there at 7am), walk to the gym to work out until 7, head home for dinner, studying/homework, whatever else need to get done before going to bed at 11. Not eating after 5 would means lot of hunger and fainting!

    I eat all of my calories between 5pm and 1am. I fast the rest of the time. I am leaning up. Everyone has a different way. I, personally, tend to get hungry before bed and cannot sleep if I do not have at least something.

    You do get some awesome senior discounts at restaurants that way...

    I don't even get home from work until 5pm, so that wouldn't work for me. The time of day that a person eats is irrelevant except in terms of preferences and lifestyle.

    Do calories in the dark add up to more than calories in the light of day? Is that why anyone eating at night exceeds their calorie quota? If so, I need to rethink my nightly sweet before bed. And that will make me sad.

    In the past, whats worked for me is not eating after 5pm. Its tough to do. But it always worked wonders.
    Yet somehow you can't stick with it forever. That's why you're here. So time to think of a different approach.

    Yesterday I ate between 1pm & 11pm. Whatever floats your boat, man.
