    I eat "dessert" (something sweet) after every supper and 95% of the time I also have a late night munchie snack.

    Don't limit yourself, you'll end up feeling deprived.

    I'll admit I do worry about eating last a certain time.

    There's no need to--it doesn't matter what time you eat.

    I eat a snack at 9pm or so every night. My only timing concern is that certain foods give me heartburn if I eat them late at night. So I avoid those.

    Now that I have stopped eating processed foods and dropped my sugar intake WAY down, I don't really feel the need to snack.... at all. If I feel hungry a few hours after supper I must have done something wrong with my meal planning/execution. I will eat more protein and/or a good fat, call it a night. I found the easiest way to tackle this is a few slices of bacon or maybe a few fried eggs.

    Sounds like you have a similar appetite to my little brother. He could eat bacon anytime of the day. I never was a fan of bacon and rarely ever eat it. Unless it's turkey bacon and cooked correctly. But more of an eggs person.

    Instead of late at night, when it will be stored as fat, why not do it early morning when you have all day to burn it off?

    I call BS. I've been a late night snacker my entire live, and have never been fat.
    Even at rest your body burns calories to keep you alive.
    Could you please stop spreading nonsense statements and inaccurate advice.

    Calories don't know or care what time it is.

    A protein / fat snack is good then - try 4% cottage cheese with a few frozen blueberries - I add protein powder on training days - Eastcoast Jim

    I eat a late snack (about 8pm) every night with my glass of wine in the evening. Lost weight and maintained with late snacks.

    Mostly cutting out late night snacks (it was practically a 4th meal for me) really helped me get to my goal. But once in a while, I'll have a little something anyway, especially on days when I have extra exercise calories to spend.

    Dammit food, why do you have to taste so good :(
