    Don't eat. I wouldn't recommend eating after 8 except maybe a little veggies. Unless you're very hungry, then EAT!

    doesn't matter what time it is. If you're hungry, eat something. If you're not, have a glass of water and go to bed. The "don't eat after X:00" is garbage.

    UGH this is like my least favorite rumor EVER it's SO IGNORANT I'm sorry I'm not trying to insult you but this is a very incorrect idea. I work 2nd and 3rd shifts. I rarely eat before 2 PM, and sometimes not even until 5 PM just because I wake up late, and that's when my body gets hungry.
    There is NOTHING I repeat NOTHING wrong with eating at ANY TIME of the day. If you have the calories left your body couldn't give two sh!ts when you eat. It's all processed in the same way. The "Dont eat before bed time because ___________" is complete bull. If not eating after 8 helps you stay in your calorie goals that's fine.
    But just be aware you can eat at ANY damn time of the day and your body knows absolutely no difference.

    OP- If you're hungry eat, if you're not then don't. But remember the time of day means nothing

    ^^^ This.

    Going to bed hungry is a whackadoodle ideal by Biggest Loser followers. I agree to not if you truly aren't hungry; but eat if you are!

    I've been having the same issue (net calories) and I struggle with not wanting to eat too close to bedtime but knowing that I am not doing my metabolism any good if I'm not eating the required number of daily calories (for me its 1200). I will keep trying, though!

    you need those 1200 calories. If you're eating less than that, you're not doing yourself any favors.

    Your body doesn't digest the food at the same rate when you are sleeping. It is okay to not hit exactly your calorie goal every day, but if you are hungry its also fine to eat.

    Eat if you're hungry.

    If you don't eat them, don't beat yourself up the next time you go over by a few calories. It's all about balance.

    Are we talking you should EAT at least 1200 or NET 1200? i have always been confused by this haha

    Never ever eat after 2.p.m! It's too close to bed time and your body counts EVERY minute meticulously to ensure you don't eat too close to bed time. Your body store every morsel eaten after 2.p.m right on your backside while you sleep!

    Eat if you're hungry, if you're not don't. I have literally over 700 calories left, it's 11:30 at night (and I count anything I eat for the day starting at 12 midnight even if I stay up past that) but I just had a snack because I was hungry and now I'm not hungry and I still have those calories left. It'll be okay because other days especially recently I've been closer to it and 1 day I was over.
    The calorie limit and goal is a general line, you might be under or overestimating some foods unless you weigh and measure everything exactly and are always logging the exact same brand that you're actually eating because every one is slightly different.
    If you're close I wouldn't worry about it.

    This is wive's tale that still circulates amongst the community that thinks they can lose weight from a pill. They think there are "tricks" like eating breakfast to boost your metabolism.

    Really?? 2 pm? so what you don't eat dinner? that's so stupid. Eat small meals throughout the day, if you have calories left and are actually hungry (drink water first) no matter what time eat, just have something healthy and small. As long as you're not eating like right before bed your body will be working to work it off, if I go to bed at 2 am I should not go 12 hours without eating anything, that is how you slow down your metabolism
