    I save up most of my calories for before bed. This is when I feel the most comfortable eating. I know my day is done. Nothing unexpected will happen that affects my eating or exercise. I can get an accurate total for where I want to be. I have always enjoyed eating before bed.

    I plan ahead, knowing I like a late snack, so I budget my calories to have a splurge at night.

    I definitely do. I drink a big glass of water and then some hot tea. If I'm still hungry a personalized bag of popcorn is nice snack for me.

    Great idea to plan ahead if you know what your eating habits are. Choose nuts, yogurt or something healthy (or not, it your calories allot).....lol Doesn't really matter what or what time as long as it's in your calories for the day.

    I'm not hungry at all in the day time, and will be miserable if I try to eat a small dinner. I just bank the calories and have a big dinner.

    I drink chamomile or mint tea sometimes with stevia. Low calorie popcorn, sometimes a few nacho chips. I'm starting to think I eat more at night because I need salt. I've only been writing down food for two days now....so maybe not! toast with peanut butter. I made pumpkin pudding today. It's ok. It's supposed to keep me away from ice cream...

    For me, I say No Eating at Night, if I get really hungry I eat a protein bar or popcorn otherwise chew gum and tell myself I can have it tomorrow. I just make myself do it and think of those clothes I want to wear.

    I log a total 24 hours 12AM-12AM. I eat every 4 hours at least. If up after midnight, those calories go on the next day. If you log sleep to sleep, you need to plan ahead for meals to cover your time awake so you don't surpass your goal by too much. I find my way is much easier for me.

    I guess I am a strange one. I have been very successful by eating starting at 5PM to 5PM. So my log chart looks like this


    Dinner
    Snack
    Breakfast
    Snack
    Lunch

    My doc told me about this so thought I would give it a try. It still is within a 24 hour period. So I start counting my calories at dinner so if I have a party I go to at night or out to dinner I don't stress about it then have a low calorie breakfast and lunch. I still have a deficit in that 24 hour period but realize this isn't for everyone. I love it and don't feel stressed out anymore.

    I eat when I'm hungry. So I guess I would eat a bowl of cereal if I woke up in the night from hunger.

    When you eat has no impact on weight loss. The amount of calories you consume does.

    I do eat at night as well. As the others have said, I plan my meals. I skip breakfast or eat my first meal as a late(ish) lunch then snack and eat my dinner late 7:30-8ish then snack before bed! The snacks may or may not happen depending on how hungry I am that day. Most important to me is that the calories are available if I need them during the times I am typically hungry. :)

    I'd go for nuts, cereal, fruit, protein bar, yogurt or something like that if i am hungry after eating dinner or staying up later than usual.

    I usually distract myself with Pinterest haha but I also make sure I allot enough calories so that I am able to have a snack at nighttime

    What's this obsession with peanut butter and apple? It seems to be on everyone's guilty pleasure list!
    Am I missing something special?!
