Should I eat this late anyway? I feel like eating late really does bad things to me.

    Yes, it is fine. Meal timing has little to no effect on weight gain/loss.

    Unless you are a gremlin.

    If you have the calories then eat them...... Timing is a mute point....

    But if you're not hungry, maybe just save the calories for tomorrow and treat yourself.

    I would say that it's probably not the end of the world if you don't eat them, especially if you have a hx of weird/bad things happening when you eat late. One day of under isn't going to mess you up. When I got my wisdom teeth out, I had about 600 calories that day. Most of that was the Frosty that I used to take my Vicodin immediately after I left the surgery and still couldn't feel most of my face.

    Eat if you're hungry. If not, don't sweat it. It'll help balance out the days when you're over.

    This. It is a rolling average, not a 24 hour window.

    It's not good to eat if you're not hungry.
