    I stop eating the days calories by 8

    I stop when I've reached my calorie goals. Sometimes I've eat at 10 at night, other times not after 7. It depends on if I'm hungry or not, and if I have any calories left.

    When you heat has zero to do with weight loss.

    I try to stop eating by 8 PM but leave my diary open just in case i do eat something before bed. I try not to do that because it is not good for weight loss. on the other hand when i used to close my diary earlier than bed time I would put the late calories on the next day's diary starting out with calories already on the day used to make me upset.

    I'm a night shifter, so I have my diary set up in 6 hour blocks - 0000-0600, 0600-1200, 1200-1800, and 1800-2359. It makes more sense to me than breakfast lunch dinner with my schedule. My calories are counted from midnight to midnight - so my lunch at 2 am is usually my first meal of the day in mfp.

    I heard that you should finish eating 12 hours before bed so the insulin fairy doesn't come and store energy in your fat cells. So for me that is 9am.

    When i have no more! haha. Dont get home till 8 most days after work and gym, and have to be in bed by 10.30ish (up at 05.30) so i dont have a choice but to eat lots of cals late, and close to bedtime! Im pretty sure timing makes no odds though.

    Immediately before I go to bed. I almost always have a chocolate bar before I go to bed since I'm usually a bit hungry and I won't be able to sleep otherwise. Most of the time I'm fine leaving calories for it, but even if it would push me over I still have it anyway. I'd rather go 100 calories over one day than not be able to sleep that night.

    If I'm hungry I eat till I run out of calories, if I'm under (I don't know how but once I tried to close my diary and it said I hadn't eaten enough so I had a full fat hot chocolate and went to bed!) Usually I stop when I'm not hungry any more. It's good practice for a recovering binger to stop at the right time and leave a few calories (which I then 'spend') on a Friday night.
