    Weight loss is not day to day. It has no clock. Try thinking of total calories per week or month.

    Listen to your body. For example, I was hungry last night and was debating wheather I should eat something or not. I ate something light. Figured that my body was telling me something and I listened to it. As long as it's not a full meal I don't see any issues for eating late at night.

    Good luck!

    I work till 9:30 a few days a week, on these days I'll eat a dinner sized meal around 10:30 and go to bed an hour or two later. Hasn't seemed to slow down my weight loss.

    I read somewhere that your last meal should be ab 3hs before going to bed and it works for me really good. Because i usually go to sleep around 2am so i really cannot imagine eating at 5/6 pm and then not eating anything for 7/8hs...

    You should stop eating 3-4 hours before you go bed. So for me I stop eating around 7-8pm

    the truth is, nothing in my life has worked so well as not eating after 8 pm. until the morning. yes, you can do it! leave your body without food for a longer period of time (this is not me talking, look it up on bodybuilder's websites) and it will start burning fat.
    eat enough during the day though.
    and trust me on this one.

    I have a crazy work schedule and often have to work past 8pm, so sometimes I can't get home and eat dinner until 9pm or later. I don't think it matters how soon before bed I eat as long as I'm within my calories for the day. I think it's more a of problem for people who crave bad foods late at night. Never really had that issue, but if I did I think maybe it would help to not eat after a certain time so I wouldn't be tempted to eat something bad.

    lol it really doesnt matter if you eat before bed , i personally fast from 8pm-12:30pm the next day ,IF def does help ignite fat loss but seriously its more about WHAT you eat and HOW MUCH you eat that will determine your body ... not WHEN you eat

    I don't really eat past 3pm...it is the only way I've found I can lose weight...but I'm only 5'1" and don't really need all that many calories...never been weak though. And there are times when I feel I need to eat, then I do. but for the most part no...

    There's no reason not to eat after some arbitrary time as long as you're staying within your target and your snack doesn't interfere with falling asleep.

    This!!

    all depends on your system and when you go to bed.
    I go to bed around midnight and have dinner most of the time around 9pm (finish work late).

    I never had any problems with that..... I Feel fine with it.

    It's not a question of good system or not...I don't even have a gallbladder anymore...(surgery) and still don't have any problem with it. ......

    My body burn it during the night that's all. I oviously eat well for dinner...mostly proteins and some carbs but it's never junk.
    I wouldn't eat Kentucky fried chicken at 9pm lol or whip cream cake hahahaha! We need to use our brain a bit here ;)

    Anyway, that's my point of view here.

    I'm sure it has worked for you but whether you stop eating at 8pm, 6pm, 10pm, 11pm, 12:07am, or whatever, isn't going to make an appreciable difference provided your total calorie and macronutrient intake is correct.

    and trust me on this one.

    I frequently wake up in the middle of the night to eat ALL the foods.



    Your body doesn't have a clock.
