Eating late

I eat anywhere from a 600 to 1,000 calorie dinner and am in bed less than an hour later, every night. I've lost almost 75 pounds doing this every day. I've never worried about eating before bed. It's just my preference

There is some research about fasting and how it has helped some with weight loss. Fasting as in eating for a small window during the day and fasting for the rest of the day. Obviously going to bed with a tummy full of anything is bad for digestion because of how your body acts during sleep. But going to bed with a stomach full of sugar or grains will spike your blood sugar and your body will just store that as fat.

Your body only stores sugar as fat once glycogen stores are full and if you are in a deficit, there won't be a net storage surplus; and to be semantically correct, carbs are less likely to be stored as fat, then dietary fat... your body just doesn't have to do as much. Fasting can be beneficial to some as it makes it harder to eat a ton of calories since you have smaller window.

Anecdotally, I didn't do very well with 16:8. My body never adapted and my hunger pains just never went away.

The only way it'll be stored as fat is if you eat over maintenance.
