Do you all stop eating after a certain time?

Timing of eating matters to me, personally I train before eating in the morning and then have shakes for breakfast and lunch followed by whatever I want for dinner, I try not to eat in the evening but if I have cheese in the fridge it ends up like Russian roulette0

I sleep better after having some food so I save calories for the evening and eat shortly before bed. My next meal isn't until around 11a.m. so it helps stave off hunger in the morning too.0

I wake up at an extremely early hour so I tend to be in bed by 8 p.m.. So that whole don't eat after 7pm guide that I see often is complete bull for me.
I do try to eat dinner by 5pm, 6 latest. And dinners my last meal of the day.
Of course on my days off I may have a snack since I don't go to bed till later.0 -
I typically don't eat after 7-8 pm because usually the things I want to eat at that time aren't healthy for me and I'm more likely to binge if I start eating later at night1

A lot of good responses! And some funny ones as well ("I'm not a gremlin so it's generally not a problem for me") haha!0

I stop betteen 7:30 and 8PM, sometimes sooner. I just don't like to eat later than that or to have the kitchen open late. My choice.0 -
No. I can't sleep at all if I'm even a little hungry0

Same here. I pre-log and plan to eat whatever calories I have left for the day at dinner. I found that if I save calories for an after dinner snack/treat, I tend to want to keep nibbling. My will power isn't strongest at the end of the day. For some reason, it's mentally easier for me to know I'm done when I've had dinner. The time is somewhat variable, and not the driver, but it's generally not later than 7.0 -

I started looking at my food and all day, I did pretty well. Then after dinner, just wanting crackers, cookies, popcorn, just kind of a mindless, but obsessive snacking, so I have tried to just stop. It isn't the calories counting, it is my will power that no just says why start snacking after dinner... Good luck!3
