Eating after 7, let's be real..

I always eat fruit after dinner (sometimes with a bit of nutella or peanut butter if calories allow), and that is around 8 pm, sometimes 9 pm, or it's even been as late as 10 pm.
Hasn't affected me in the slightest.

I burn roughly 2700 calories in a 24 hour period...meal timing is irrelevant...I'm going to burn those 2700 calories regardless. If people just used simple logic it would put a lot of these old wives tales to bed.

Let's be real: ain't never gonna happen that I'm NOT going to eat after 7. I'm the same as you--completely irregular schedule because of school and part-time work (and various other things, like having a social life), so I never know in advance when I'm going to get up or when I'm going to eat. That makes it hard to plan when I will eat and when I will exercise, but that's okay. It's the way I live my life, I'd rather not have a solid routine, to be honest. So if I want to eat after 7, I damn well will (and I'll also go for runs at midnight--the joys of being a night owl!).

I think the problem of eating after 7 is not that it magically put weight on but the reasons you are eating. Are you eating out of boredom? or habit. If you had a nice healthy dinner and you are hungry at 7 or 8 I would eat a fruit or a small bowl of veggies. IF you are working late and do not get home until 8 of course you need to eat a healthy meal. I would recommend that if you know you are going to be late maybe try and eat a bigger breakfast or lunch. If you are going out on a date just relax. One or two days a week are not going to ruin anything.
