Did not get chance to eat dinner before walking

I agree, eat. I don't feel it matters when you eat, just that you eat within your goals.

If you're hungry, eat. When you're full (or hit your number, if you're doing numbers), stop.

If you aren't hungry, skip it. (But you said you were.)

They're your rules. You made them and you can break them.

It is just that I have always read that you must not eat after 6 pm.

What if you don't go to bed until 2am?

Just eat. The only reason not to eat after a certain time is if you have trouble falling asleep shortly after eating. Some people have trouble with that and some don't. Your body will still digest and use the food the same whether you eat it at 7 a.m., 5 p.m. or 11 p.m.

what time zone?

what if you work a night shift?

Calories can't tell time...

Love this ^^ "calories can't tell time"

It honestly doesn't matter. I used to believe that too. there are so many wives tales we are told that aren't true. Another one is eating smaller meals more often. That's not true either. It may help some people to keep them from overeating, but calorie wise it doesn't matter. I've met ppl on here who eat all their calories in 2 meals per day and hv lost over 100 lbs. Do what I did. Take everything you've ever heard/read about weightloss, ...And forget it. All of it. Start new, and you will learn so much on here. Eat less calories than you burn & you'll lose weight. That's all

The only reason not to eat after 6 pm is if there is a specific medical reason (example, I used to be on a medication where I had to take it 3 hours after eating but also at bedtime allowing 8 hours to sleep, so I had to finish eating by 7 pm - no food after that) but if you don't have one then you should eat. Calories can't tell time.

ok so it is 9.40 pm and I just finished walking. I did not get chance to eat dinner before I went and I know this is really late so I don't know what to do now but I am getting hungry so don't know if I can make it through the night with out eating.

Go eat. Weight loss has nothing to do with meal timing.

I always thought that if you went to sleep soon after eating that you were not able to burn the calories and they turned into fat. I always used to eat late and I thought that helped contribute to my weight problem. For teh past few months I have been trying to eat by 6pm.
I am not worried about falling asleep I am so exhausted. lol

Nope. Hopefully by now you've eaten.

Eat...its about calorie deficit not timing of meals.

skipping meals is completely counterproductive. it just makes you want to binge later and even if you dont.... a fast that goes too long makes your metabolism all wonky.

eat.

Lol. Myth.

You realize there is a whole lot of people that fast everyday on purpose. And have amazing results.

I agree. Me lol.
