I know a lot of people have a cut off time in the evening when they have their last meal. I'm struggling with that since my bedtime is generally around midnight, sometimes later. When it your "cut-off" time to eat and how do you curb hunger afterwards? Does the body adapt?

    i don't have a cut off time. I just count my calories, and get my exercise in through the course of my day. If I want chips and salsa at midnight, and I have the calorie allotment for it, i am having chips and salsa.

    I don't have a cut off time. Last night I didn't workout until 9pm and I ate a banana and peanut butter afterwards at 10.

    That is generally what I have been doing, too.

    My "cut off" time is when I go to bed. I will usually have a piece of fruit or something.

    When I run out of calories. Sometimes it's an hour before bed and sometimes it's minutes before.

    I have a general guideline. I start work pretty early, so I go to bed around 8 or 9. I eat my dinner around 4 or 5 and dont eat past 6.

    I have no cut off time I think I once read you shouldn't eat late but bedtime is my quiet peaceful time so I purposely save calories for my nighttime snack.

    About 10 min before I go to bed, which is usually 11pm...

    No cut-off time here either. I eat until almost all my calories for the day are consumed, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

    I actually quit eating when I am no longer hungry which usually is about 6pm. very rarely do I eat after that unless I am eating empty calories with zero nutrients

    I wake up at 4:30am so I go to bed quite early.

    I try to not eat at least 2-3 hours before bed, so ideally no later than 6pm-7pm.

    I ate celery smothered in peanut butter minutes before I went to bed. I eat until my calories are gone. ^.^

    It really depends on how many calories I have left. Sometimes I'll snack after dinner, but most of the time I'm good to go until the morning.
