does it matter if I can't get to the gym until after 10pm?

My schedule changes often and there are times I can't get to the gym until 1030pm. Will going to the gym this late cause me to be hungry in the middle of the night?

    Hmmm I wouldn't think so, I exercise as late as 11-12AM most of the time and I normally don't get hungry until about 3-4AM if I'm still awake lol So unless you will be awake that late, i think it should be fine :)

    Only one way to find out for certain, eh?

    Try it and see. There is no reason you can't exercise any time of the day, the trick is just to find a combo of exercise and meals that works best for you.

    A late workout is better than no workout.

    Late workouts give me insomnia; but as far as hunger goes, I figure you'll be fine with the normal post-workout snack.

    Insomnia would be a bigger concern than hunger. A lot of times I am very unhungry after a workout. However, if it is a hard workout, saving room for a little protein snack isn't a bad idea.
