    You danced and ate before going to sleep. I'm no expert, but I think that, for weight loss and control that it makes sense for a day to be from wake up to wake up. As long as you're consistant, I'm not sure it matters.

    I don't know the answer... I can only tell you what I do.

    I work a lot of night shifts, so I log all food and exercise before I go to sleep, as one day, and anything after I sleep, as the next day...

    Oh wow, that sounded better in my head... hope it made sense? lol

    I would agree with this; if it's before bed, it belongs with the previous day =)

    It shouldn't matter, since your net calories over time will be the same either way. Personally, I end the day when I go to sleep for purposes of logging my work hours as well as for logging stuff like this.
