    I like snacks at night. I normally have a bag of 100 cal popcorn, or a jello pudding or something. Tonight I'm having half a donut, oh I'm living it up y'all.

    I save my cals so I can eat something at night. I eat about 1200 a day, sometimes a little more and I eat a 200 cal breakfast, 300-400 cal lunch, 300-500 cal supper and a snack with a cup of tea. No drinking calories over here.

    Thats really good. Seems to have worked well for you. I think I'm going to adopt some of the comments from this thread for myself. Tend to over-indulge at night and end up over calories.
  • I'm generally most active at night, and I used to stay up until 4am and would snack right up until bed time. The last couple days I've been not eating a few hours before I go to bed, and it's helped a little bit with digestion and my sleep. But if you're not having any problems, like everyone else has said, then don't worry about it.

    I seem to have the opposite problem...I have to FORCE myself to eat in the evening

    I eat every night. Going to bed hungry isn't an option, IMO.

    Seriously, who *doesn't* eat at night?

    dinner is my biggest meal; usually around 6:30. after dessert, i generally don't eat anything. i might have a drink, but that's about it. i'm usually getting hungry by the time i go to bed, but i'm fairly used to it at this point. helps me to get up early because i'm hungry. i stopped having to hit the snooze button when i changed my evening eating.
