    I eat pretty much everything after 9, but I don't go to bed before 3 am so my schedule's a bit messed up :)

    I don't. I try not to eat past 7 because you won't be up and moving around as much to burn off anything.

    I always eat after 9 :) with my work and school schedule I have no choice! and its a myth that if you eat late at night your body won't burn it off. Your body can process foods the same at 9pm and at 9 am! I'll find multiple links for that and send them to you.

    I try not to eat after 8pm that being said sometimes there are days where it's a must. lol.
    Before MFP it would be anything and everything. Now I try to squash my hunger by drinking a glass of decaffinated herbal tea or just water. If I'm still hungry after that I will eat veggies or thinsation pack or a handful of almonds.

    I don't usually workout until after 8:30pm so sometimes when I'm hungry after I have a protein shake or I have a thick rice cake with a smear of cream cheese and smoked salmon on top... nice low cal snack... u can always substitute the smoked salmon with something like tuna or just leave the cream cheese... :)

    I usually eat dinner at 9 p.m. or after, but it's nothing too unhealthy. hehe :)

    If water doesn't cut it for me, I'll have a rice cake (50 calories each) or Babybel (60 or 70 calories).

    I usually save enough calories for some popcorn with "kernel seasons" butter seasoning. Yum!

    I know a lot of people who say it's good not to eat after different times. which is great, but for me.. starting out, it's been hard! but I try to make better choices in th house. I have yogurts w/ less carbs, snack packs that are 100 calories, vegs & fruits. I drink at least a cup of water and then have a light snack . then sip out of my water bottle the rest of the evening.. my snacking at night has been much better since i went out and bought myself a 32oz water bottle w/ straw and drink out of it all day.. keeps my tummy thinking it's full. plus i have been meeting/ going over my 8 cups of water pre day!

    Even though it may be a myth, all of our bodies are different. I know in the beginning my body had SUCH a sucky metabolism that when I cut the late night snacks out it boosted me up during the days. That was a real turning point in my weight loss! It was a hard habit to cut but I did! Also it does make a huge difference when your routine is a late one. Before I cut all of my snacking out completely and saw a huge weight loss. Now that I'm at my goal I have my last snack at around 2-3 hours before bed. Usually a fruit, veggie or nut! :o)

    When I was younger my mum always had dinner on the table ready to eat at like 5, so i guess Ive stayed in habit, Around uni, I try and get all food in before 7pm. Admittedly im hungry when i go to bed, but apparently it can help alot :)

    A small piece of chocolate if I feel like it and I'm not too far over my calorie goal. One square of lindt excellence = 50 kcal

    The difference now that I use mfp is that I really do have 1 piece rather than 3 or more! By the time I've entered the calories the desire for a second piece has vanished ;)
