    I don't "save" them for this purpose, but I have dessert (almost always chocolate) every single night. That's how it's planned out ahead of time. If it fits my macros, it's fair game.

    I always eat a small meal. Yesterday I planned to eat at maintenance and I swear I looked forward to my scrambled eggs on toast with cheese all day.

    No, because I usually eat dinner quite late, but there's nothing wrong with it if it works for you.

    I save for snacks. Snacks are important to me. Usually apples and popcorn are what I snuggle up with to watch a show or two in the evening. Like others said, you gotta find what works for you. As long a you are meeting your nutritional goals for the most part, save for all the snack you need!

    Nope - snacks for me lead to more snacks and more snacks. I eat when it's meal time. I focus on eating and enjoying it and haven't wanted or needed snacks since I made the rule that they don't exist in my life.

    Cheese and crackers. A handful of pistachios. And wine. Always wine.

    I plan for a mid-afternoon snack. Seems to prevent me from overeating when I walk in the door. I don't eat after dinner. I try to go to bed early if I am in a snacking mode.

    I like to save enough kj's to have a couple of squares of Lindt chocolate at night (every couple of days or so), the lime zest or sea salt caramel...delish! makes me not binge if I can fit a small treat into my daily kj's every couple of days :)

    I eat most of my calories between 4 and 10pm. I stick to around 1800 a day, and usually have 1000-1200 left at 4.

    Always.
    I eat about 60-70% of my calories at night.

    I am a nighttime snacker so I always save calories for after dinner snacking. I wouldn't be able to stay on track if I didn't save the calories for the evening.

    Before I began this journey one month ago today, I ate at night. Then I developed heartburn and acid reflux during the night. It was unbearable, so my solution was to take a Nexium every day. Now since ditching nighttime eating, I haven't taken one pill and haven't had any heartburn. Is anyone else bothered by indigestion from eating after dinner?
