    It's neutral. What matters is how many calories you burn vs. consume (for weight loss).

    Its not bad to eat late, and there have been some tests tot hat effect. as CA above so clearly mentioned. If your having hard time waiting. You may have to maybe have a snack before hand. I work out right after work and the family doesn't sit down until 7 or later. We all know we will need something to tide us over.

    No. I usually eat after the gym, so around 10:30-11. No problem at all.

    I often eat dinner late. I grew up in a family that ate later than all my friends and I usually have a workout class at 6:30 or 7pm so I don't eat until I get home.

    I eat dinner fairly late as well, around 8:30/9:00pm. I also eat 5 others meals throughout the day so it get's kinda tough to fit them all in by a certain time. However, I would recommend eat dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed. In that time, your body is still digesting the food and raises your blood sugar a little, which can make it difficult to to sleep soon after eating.
