What time should I not eat after?

I've heard before that it's bad to eat past 9pm and I've heard 8pm and 7pm and even 4pm. I'm not sure what the actual best time to stop eating is. Does it even matter at all? It's 7:40 pm here right now and I just ate two rice cakes with hummus and I'm planning on not eating anymore today

Don't eat once you're asleep. Other than that, timing does not matter.0

The time where choking is liable to kill you because you are asleep and eating at the same time.
Meal timing and frequency has nothing to do with weight loss. So eat when you want to and don't listen to any of that BS.0 -

Eat whenever you want to, it makes no difference. Just stick to your calorie goals0

your body doesn't know time. but with that being said - eating a heavy meal right before bed time is perhaps not the best idea either...) maybe a snack or something..0

This right here needs to be stickied at the top of the forums.

Ive done it all, dont eat before you fall asleep. the further away from bedtime the better. I used to do that and drop 2 or 3 lbs aweek compared to 1 or 2 lbs a month if i ate when ever0

I don't eat after 8pm but that's only because I am on medication for high cholesterol (it's a genetic family thing)0

i think when your body is at rest it should be able to rest and not actively be digesting food. i aim for not eating anything 4 hours befor bedtime.... whether bed time is 7 or 10, just stop eating 4 hours before. on days when i've had long days at work, i generally am still able to stop eating 2 hours before bedtime. i also dont want to feel like food is fair game 24 7. that contributed to me being on this site in the first place.0

I regularly (2-3 times a week) eat dinner after 9:30pm due to my schedule. That works out to about an hour before I go to sleep. That has started within the last 6 months or so. You may find you sleep better if you haven't eaten close to bedtime, but I haven't noticed any adverse effects on my weight loss. I'm still losing at the rate I was before.0

at Exactly 18:36 Monday to Friday or 17:09 at weekends [/WTF?]0

The only reason this would work for some people is if they have problems with midnight binging (as I used to). I set a time restriction on myself because I would eat my calorie allotment for the day and then binge on random crap in the middle of the night. Once I got over that, I gave up the time restriction.
The only thing I do now is avoid dairy or eating too heavy a few hours before bed because it doesn't sit well with me. Otherwise, it's all good.0 -

QFT and cause it made me giggle.
The only reason to avoid evening eating is if it is a trigger for mindless eating for you. Physically, it makes no difference0 -
It doesn't matter...I eat my full dinner which is one of my larger meals of the day at 8:30/9:00 PM and then go to bed shortly after. Some people have issues with digestion when they eat late...I don't...if you don't, it doesn't matter. You don't suddenly stop burning calories just because you are sleeping....your body burns energy (calories) 24/7.0
