What time do YOU stop eating for the day?

I stop eating when I'm done. Your body doesn't care what time you eat.

Stop eating about 8 pm, and start eating again the next day around 1pm.

But it's only 5 and I went way over my calories.
But at least I know WHY I gain weight.. because every single day I go over my 1500 calorie-limit. It's not really how much I'm eating but it's what I'm eating.

If this is in regards to losing weight....
Then stopping eating at 5 pm doesn't matter, if you already went over the amount of calories your body needs daily......

You can eat right up til your body hits the bed, and lose weight, if you are below caloric needs.

I usually have 5 meals throughout the day:) Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack or Breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, snack My last meal (snack) is usually around 8 pm and it is usually a big one (250-350 calories) because that's usually how many calories I have left to meet my goal:)

Your body doesn't care what time you eat.

Mine does. If I eat too late, I have incredibly bizarre dreams (for example, I keep running in to Han Solo in a shopping mall). This would be kind of cool except I wake up feeling like I haven't slept.

So, 7 PM.

On weekdays, 10-11pm. On weekends where Im more nocturnal, it can be as late as 2 in the morning and yes I do eat carbs then too. I dont think when you eat is relevant to weight loss tbh.

Right before I go to bed. Sometimes I get up and eat one more little snack.

Cheese apparently can be an issue. I did have a large lump of cheese once and dreamt we were invaded by aliens. I managed to escape on one of their space ships but pressed the wrong button and ejected myself into space.

So you still died?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i usually stop when my calorie allowance for the day is met or it's bed time...whichever comes first. usually right about the same time, so that's convenient.

You have to monitor what is good for your body.

If i eat too close to bedtime, my body retains the water until next day e.g . I eat at 8 and go to sleep at an hour or 2 later, i might wake up 0.5-1lb more than the previous day but if i sleep 3-3.5hrs later, my body doesn't retain anything. That is just how MY body works.

Some people spread out their daily calories e.g. you have 1500kcal. For breakfast, some will have 400, lunch 500 and dinner 300, save 300 for after dinner snack. You can adjust the figures to your liking if you feel like you tend to snack alot at night. Make sure your calorie counting is accurate because if you are hitting close to your calorie figures without accurate measuring, you could be going over your calories easily, even more than you thought.

You need to be able to discipline yourself not to do that every night though, this is just my personal opinion. Evening snacking became a common thing only a couple of years ago where i would have ice cream, cake, chocolate etc without even thinking there might be consequences. Planning my meals a day or 2 ahead has really helped in disciplining myself without feeling deprived.

I personally like to stop eating before 8pm for the reasons i mentioned before but some people have said they can eat within 10mins of bedtime, makes no difference to them. So its a good idea to learn how your body works and then go from there

When I've reached my calorie goal.

NEVEH!

No seriously, I like to save calories for late at night because that's when I have the most time to relax and eat.

I stop eating at 10pm regardless if I ate enough to hit my calorie goals.. cuz otherwise I'll be faced with a low willpower snacking situation when midnight rolls around and I'm watching something stupid on the telly

STOP EATING WHEN YOUR FULL OR HAVE MET YOUR CALORIE GOAL

I'm a night owl. I rarely eat before 10 am but no later than midnight. I might have a cuppa after.But I think it's really a matter of what and how much you eat than when. Do you plan your meals in advance? That might help.
