    I like to have around 1000 cals left for evening consumption. Usually breaks down to 600-800 for dinner and then 200- 400 for wine, dessert, or other evening snacks.

    110 calories? How is that possible? :o

    Well, I don't want to give anyone any bad ideas lol. But, in my case, I consume the most calories in the morning, so I don't see a smaller dinner as harmful.

    Nothing wrong with that. I have meals that small occasionally. Usually when I've boogered up the rest of the day and that's all I have left, or when I'm saving as much as I can for a big treat later. I'll have a relatively low-cal soup or canned tuna with vegetables.

    Somewhere between 300 and 500, usually, but I also have wine or cocktails and bedtime snacks. I save close to 1000 calories for nighttime, basically.

    Usually around 600-800 for dinner, and then 200-300 for dessert. I'm always more hungry in the evenings, and like to have a glass of wine or beer with dinner. :)

    500-700 including an evening snack/dessert. It is by far my biggest meal of the day. I don't take a lunch at work (just not "done" in my office) so I eat a quick salad at my desk. Typically, I am in a rush in the morning and try to keep it simple. I have toyed with the idea of IF but I think I need something during the day since I work out in the morning.

    Seriously? A bowl of cereal is more than that! I'd be starving at 1am if I did that. :smile:
