I always got told that eating past 8pm.0

Yes you're fine. Energy expenditure vs intake is ultimatum. We don't run on a clock.....we run on a constant cycle. Meal timing is relevant for very nit picky times like contest shows and only temporary0

Eat as late as you want unless eating interferes with your sleep.0

I eat about 1600-1700 calories from 7-before I got to bed every day0
-
I need fuel for the day and the after work workout
Not eating all day would not work for me
Your mileage may vary0 -
It doesn't matter when you eat, but you'd probably have more energy if you spread it out.
I would venture that your excess calories in the evening are due to a fear of running out during the day.0 -
Meal timing is irrelevant, if you enjoy it keep doing it.
Personally I love coming home from the gym about 9pm and eating 80g of carbs and 100 protein0 -
since i began diet i have a constant hunger during the nifht and i eat a lot, so i usually keep most of my calories for night.
Is IIFYM real? What do you advice me?

I also started eating normal, so yesterday i ate at my friends house and i ate chicken coated with bread crumbs, i had a healthy dinner but today i ate rice with squid. I weighted myself and i weighted 5 punds more…
Ia it normal to gain weight when getting back to normal eating?

It's normal to weigh more and less and more as your weight fluctuates throughout the day/week. If this bothers you weigh yourself weekly or find a way to keep track of a trend of your weight over time (like trendweight.com if you've got a WiFi scale or a FitBit account with your recorded weight)0

It's not the things you eat in just one day that make a difference in how your body looks that same day. It is about having a calorie deficit over time. So it'll just take time to see the real changes.
It doesn't sound like you're following a sensible program, though. Choosing nutritious food is good, but you don't have to eat clean to lose weight.
Not eating all day and then having 8 cups of skimmed milk at night is not sensible, at all. Especially if you're still growing. Binging isn't good. It sounds like you need more information about nutrition and weight loss.
If you want to lose weight and keep it off in a sustainable way, you would do much better to eat a well-rounded diet, and to eat to fuel your activity while keeping a deficit. I think smaller deficits are easier for lots of people to handle and maintain.0 -

Not sure if my eyes are working correctly but that's 2 liters of milk?
Is that right?
That's a 1000 calories of liquid (2% milk)!vidalsouza6 wrote: »But everyone eats junk food and dont get fat but i eat rice or chicken coated woth bread and i gain weight…
Well...
Read up on calories in - calories out [CICO]
I'm a night eater too, but I make sure I count my calories in and my Polar M400 and heartrate monitor do a good job of counting the calories out [i.e. energy burned during the day]
Best of luck.
