What time do you stop eating for the day?

I agree with the above post - makes no difference. I eat when I feel like it, which usually means eating most of my calories after 7pm. That said, I mostly eat clean, so it's not heavy food, and my evening meal is usually a couple hours before going to bed. I also have a snack before bed. Have been doing that throughout my MFP/weight loss journey.

I don't eat after the sun goes down, and for me it's purely psychological. If I eat when it's dark out, I'll eat all night and literally will take food to bed with me and snack in bed. I'm totally aware that it doesn't matter if I eat past a certain time, but I can't keep my intake at any kind of a reasonable level if I don't rein it in.

I stop eating for the day when I'm disgusted with myself. Usually 15 min before bed. I hate waking up hungry.

LOL this is me...I seriously eat until I am disgusted and then I tend not to wake up (as much) hungry. Although I usually eat at least once a night. Running crazy distances each day makes me like a bottomless pit.

When I go to bed. I mean sometimes this can mean that my last meal was 4 hours or more before I hit the sack and other times it can be as little as 5 mins. Just depends on what I eat, do and how I feel for the day.

I try not to eat between 10pm-2pm IF 16/8, but times vary.

you dont eat for most of the day? sure you don't mean 10pm-2am? or 10am-2pm?

well it's 10:30 pm here right now and I am trying to figure out what to eat..protien bar or milk duds...Im hungry

Eating after 7pm is a myth. It doesn't matter to weight loss. A calorie deficit is a calorie deficit no matter when you eat those calories. You can eat them with a fox. You can eat them in a box.

If I remember correctly IF 16:8 is fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8 hour time frame. So looks like 2pm -10pm is the 8 hour period in which she eats.

I eat up until I fall asleep.

Usually before my nighttime shower, but I have been known to get out of the shower, shuffle into the kitchen, and score an ice cream bar or something. But usually 10 minutes or so before bed (11pm)

I don't do this. Eat whenever I want really.

Do you live somewhere that sunset is late into the evening. Because in a couple of months it'll be dark here by 6pm and I haven't even left work yet most nights. Just curious.

To answer the original question: I work odd, irregular hours so I have don't have a set eating schedule. I may be having breakfast meal when someone else is eating lunch or dinner.

Whatever time I go to sleep is normally when I stop eating (unless I'm a sleepwalker). :laugh:

I have a weird schedule, so I normally eat my lunch around 5 and my dinner around 10 because that's what my body needs based on my daily schedule (even people in different countries eat their meals differently, so there's no real answer). Just eat and stay within *your* goals. If you find that you're hungry at night, try logging every meal so that it will help you figure out what/when you can eat without being hungry. I try not to put restrictions on when I can eat and say, "You can't eat past 10," because it will just lead to cravings and binging. Good luck.

I stop when I am out of calories, generally. Hours on the clock mean absolutely nothing with regard to weight loss.
