Do you stop eating after a certain time?

Calories cant tell the time......... : )

If your hungry.. Eat ... : )

I eat at all silly hours ... If your body is needing food, fuel it!!

Hi, you can eat whenever you want, just as long as you are within your calorie goals in the 24 hour period. I try not to eat right before bed, UNLESS I ABSOLUTELY have to, but that is not because of weight gain or weight loss. I worry about digestion if I eat a big meal before bed.

I try to not eat after 7:00 pm.

No, I eat whenever I want... I'm a notorious nighttime snacker.

I eat dinner around 8 PM, have a snack at midnight, and then go to bed. So, I guess its when I'm sleeping

Once I go to sleep. I always stop eating once I am asleep.

I eat whenever I want food, think about it, your body is already fasting right through the night so why make that begin earlier?

I follow IF... so i don't break the fast until noon and stop eating by 8. i've read a little evidence that the fast helps boost hormone levels that facilitate fat energy use, but not enough of a change over a normal eating diet to make me switch. I do it instead because i've never liked eating breakfast, and enjoy getting all my daily calories in 2 large meals rather than smaller more frequent meals.

honestly it doesn't matter when you consume calories. Even if you do so right before bed, the body doesn't just stop metabolism because you are asleep. if you are alive, you're burning fuel at some level.

I have before (not currently now) done that. I wouldn't eat anything after 6 so after supper I was done, really cut down on my night time habit of snacking out of boredom.

I see a GI doc. He said that eating close to bedtime can cause acid reflux. He said the pressure of the food in the esophagus can actually break the valve that separates the stomach and esophagus, allowing the food to sit in the esophagus all night. He said the acid churning in the esophagus and throat all night while in a lying position can eventually cause cancer.

So, yes, I have my evening snack at 8 PM and then don't eat anything else. I go up to bed about 11 or 12 PM, as the GI specialist said to stop eating 3 to 4 hours before bedtime.

I don't know if eating at night really affects weight any more than eating in the day time, but we aren't active at night, so the food doesn't digest quickly like it does in the daytime, especially if it's sitting in the esophagus all night instead of reaching the stomach and bowels and digesting.

It is rare for me to eat after 7 pm unless it's a small snack like nuts or cheese to fill in gaps in protein/cals.

However it's not because I believe it will somehow assist me in losing weight. I just feel hungrier early in my day. For me 3 meals at 7, 11:30 or 12, and 5:30 or 6 feels right so that's what I usually do.

No. I do not have a specific cutoff time to stop eating.

In general though my last meal + snack is around 7:30 and I am generally very full because I like eating bigger dinners so it lasts me about 12-13 hours overnight until I eat breakfast.

Many different opinions about this here. I recently read about a small study that showed, generally thin people tend to stop eating by 8 PM. I have a major problem eating at night so I have recently stopped eating at 8. So far I do not see any difference.

I would suggest that this is probably because the people who eat later (a) eat high calorie snack food and (b) go over on their calorie requirements. If you are counting calories and staying in a deficit, meal (or snack) timing means virtually nothing.

Yes, after "O" thirty...

And yes, I chose the Judge Judy gif for all of your viewing pleasure!

I try to eat my last meal a couple of hours before going to bed, that's before ten as I go to bed at midnight. It is usually a small snack like tea or a small yogurt. It works for me
