And do you use them all at dinner or do you split it between dinner and a snack?

    Even though I plan most of my day, I usually end up with half my calories left for dinner and night time snack. I just don't eat high calorie foods during the day. I always split the cals because it's too much for one meal.

    I usually have about 1000 left for dinner, and depending on what time I eat dinner depends on whether or not I save some for a snack....My snack of choice is usually either popcorn or pretzels with some water.

    better to split. keeps your sugar levels balanced out. plus, if i get hungry before bed there's no way I can tell myself NO MORE FOOD. Haha ;)

    Hi,

    I usually have about 300-400 food calls left. I eat 4-6 meals aday. Clean eating, lean meats, fresh veg and some fruit. I am doing alot of excersise so in reality I could have up to 1400 cals left by dinner but I don't count my excerise cals.
    I generally have a night time snack-protien.,,,,
    I find that I get alot of mileage out of my food if I stay away from processed products and stick with cooking and packing everything for my day.

    I'm a night eater, so I split mine. I can't eat 1000 calories at a time.

    106 tonight. It's 10:30 p.m. and I just finished dinner so no, I don't plan on eating anymore tonight.

    I usually have about 400-500 calories for dinner plus 140 for desert. So, including desert, I have around 510 - 610 calories left.

    If I have any left over after that then I'll have a snack before bed.

    I'm a night eater and eat one large meal a day so... most of them? Hehehehe.
    I eat a large dinner over the course of a few hours late at night, but I never eat breakfast and rarely eat lunches bigger than a snack.
