    There is no best time... it's entirely personal preference.

    This.

    Night shift workers.
    Daylight savings time beginning/ending.
    Living in different time zones.
    Traveling across different time zones.

    Seriously, your body doesn't just shut off or quit working or whatever based on a clock. When you start & stop eating is entirely your personal preference & what your schedule allows.

    Unless there is a medical reason to stop eating at a certain time then stop eating any time to suit you.
    I have to take a medication last thing before I go to bed and as the medication only works properly on a nearly empty stomach I have my dinner about 7pm and then no snacking.

    There's nothing wrong with eating at night as long as you remain within your calorie goals. :) Meal timing is all about personal preference; eat at a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight regardless of other factors.

    Agree with the prevalent comments here that it doesn’t matter. I’d like to share my approach. I prefer to close my feeding window by 6:00 pm. Like 5:00 pm better but that’s harder for me to do.

    I eat as late as I want too as long as its weighed and logged. Last night I had a serving of cereal right before I went to bed at 11:30pm because I was craving it.

    I'm typically shoving food in my face as I'm sitting in bed about to turn the lights off before I drift off to sleep. Unless it causes you GI distress, it doesn't matter what time of day you eat.

    I always eat at night, shortly before bed. I sleep better with food on my stomach. Never hindered weight loss or maintenance.

    It's all a matter of personal preference.

    And I sleep better with a few hours between my last meal and bed :) Just goes to show we're all a little different, and these arbitrary weight loss 'hacks' aren't worth the time it takes to read them!

    Yep. My husband is like you and has to stay up a bit after eating too.

    What happens if you spill water on yourself?

    (PS That movie terrified me when I was a kid!)
