    As someone who works 7 PM to 7 AM three nights a week, I couldn't go all that time at work without eating something. If all is not chaotic, my "meal" is around 2 AM.

    I never know what to call that meal, so I don't name it.

    I save almost all my calories for the evening.. I can't go to bed hungry and the evening tends to be the time I get serious cravings, if I ate an early dinner I'd be almost guaranteed to stuff a load of junk food before bed!

    If you're not at all hungry, there's not much point eating the calories.. but a snack isn't going to hurt, no matter the time!

    Some people said your body don't know from day to night when i had a trainer she told me to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day

    My experience so far tells me that time is irrelevant to weight loss, as I've lost quite a bit and am mostly a late night (far later than 9pm) eater. Just stick to your calorie goals and you should be good.

    How many of those 400 calories do you need not to be in the starvation mode? For example, if you had at least 250 of those calories, would myfitness pal indicate that is a healthy range? With that being said, I really enjoy Noosa (greek yogurt with some fat), particularly strawberry ruhbarb and 8 0. o.z. is about 240 calories if you add a couple of toppings you can easily get to at least 300+ calories. Could be a healthy late evening snack? Hope that helps.
    Don't think you go into "starvation mode" because you don't consume 400 calories one day......

    Eating carbs at night will reduce your HGH proteins, that's a bad thing.

    I stopped eating 2 hours before laying down because of acid reflux...
    Except today I didn't reach 1200 calories so I am having a night time snack =)
    I wouldn't mind skipping these last 380 calories except I'm worried that my body will eat up all the muscles I've been working on.
    From now on all my calories 2 hours before bed

    I've always disagreed with the know-it-alls who said eating at night was wrong.

    Unless you have trouble sleeping if you eat too close to bed time, or you get heartburn from eating too late, I'd just eat them whenever I want.
