    It doesn't matter to me. I eat whenever I'm hungry (within reason) so since I'm a night owl that could be as late as 2 or 3am. It hasn't been a problem so far.

    Usually not after 7pm. Definitely not after 8 and that would just be a small snack

    Ditto. Sometimes I wake up hungry through the night and so I'll eat then. I definitely believe in listening to your body and stopping when you're full.

    I try not to eat after 8 pm. I get heart burn if I eat too close to bed time. If I get hungry after, I'll have a cup of herbal tea and that usually does the trick.

    Thank you everybody! I read an article that said you should not eat after 8, so I was wondering what other people thought.

    I've heard its best to go to bed hungry so you'll wake up and want to eat a good breakfast....
    But I still eat around 8:30 :)

    "Dinner and Done" is my motto. I go to bed fairly early and see no reason for me to eat after dinner. It works for me.

    Since I'm on a 12pm - 8pm feeding window on my intermittent fasting, 8pm is when I take my last bite of the night until the next day at noon.

    It doesn't matter when you eat though. Eat at 2am if you want.

    You should never eat after 7 PM or else your body will turn that food into fat. Just kidding...

    I'm always nibbling on stuff late at night. Last night I had an assortment of sweets right before going to sleep. So basically, there is no 'latest' for me.

    There's no cut-off time for me, I'll eat whenever I'm hungry or have extra calories left to consume. Last night at midnight, I ate a handful of strawberries (256 grams). I do this quite often and not once has it hindered my weight loss. If I stopped eating after 7pm, I'd be ravenous the next day and end up overeating.

    Right before I hit my pillow, if I'm hungry right before I hit it.

    I try not to eat past 8pm. I know the whole "its a myth" thing, but, I want that long period where my body is doing a natural fast. Plus, I go to bed around 10pm. The after 8 thing doesn't always work, but, its a goal of mine.

    Time doesnt matter but my last meal/snack is always protein. Nuts or Nut butters.
