I eat pretty much everything after 9, but I don't go to bed before 3 am so my schedule's a bit messed up0
-
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.0
-
Tthank you. xx0

I don't eat after 7 but there's a whole bunch that I wish I could0

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.0 -
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...0
-
I usually eat dinner at 9 p.m. or after, but it's nothing too unhealthy. hehe0
-
If water doesn't cut it for me, I'll have a rice cake (50 calories each) or Babybel (60 or 70 calories).0

I usually save enough calories for some popcorn with "kernel seasons" butter seasoning. Yum!0

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!0

I try not to. But when I do I have fresh fruit. Apples are a desert to me these days!0

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!

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 alot0

because of my work schedule i have my dinner around 8:30 to 9pm and i do my work outs at about 10pm to 11pm i know its late but o fcourse its nothing heavy ill have a tuna sandwich with wheat bread
wheat crackers with laughing cow light swiss chesse
a chicken breast salad,
bowl of fiber one cereal,
frozen fruit with light cottage cheese
fruits like bananas or tangerines with one tbl spoon of crunchy peanut butter mmm
tilapia w/lemon pepper seasoning w/steamed veggies
light buttered popcorn
yoplait yogurt
what do you have???0 -
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 vanished0 -
Thanks girls and boys. xx0

No kidding! I can't eat anything after 9 because my tired butt is in bed!0 -
Veggies(with hummus), salad, occasionally a little chocolate if I can get away with it. Depends on what my leftover cals are by then.0
-
Air popped popcorn with melted becel 62% less calorie margarine. I can eat a ton! And not feel guilty0
-
If you eat after 7PM, you are screwing yourself for weightloss or maintenence. Just sayin.0
-
Yawn, that's a half hour before my bedtime. I try not to eat anything.0

Popcorn!0

Heya I normally have a light dinner around 6-7 and then I am hungry again by 9 - 10 (I don't go to bed till mid night normally). I know people say you shouldn't eat after a certain time but I eat every 2 to 3 hours all day long and it works for me so I normally have a "dessert" option, either some natural yoghurt and frozen berries or a couple of squares of dark organic chocolate. If I am not hungry though I don't have anything0
-
Dont eat anything after 7. NOTHING.0
-
Man, none of yall answered the question. The OP is not asking whether it is good to eat after 9pm! I guess we all know that. I clicked on here in the hopes that ---ok yes, don't eat after 9 BUT if I do, what is least harmful?
Now if anyone had actual answers, that would be appreciated. Thanks0 -
Considering I work overnights, I eat most of my food after 9pm. Also, meal timing has zero effect on fat loss. The more you know.0
