Night time eating

Options
I know most of you are going to say it doesn’t matter. I eat my largest meal at night, always healthy, generally just protein and veggies, maybe a sweet potato now and then. It’s just when I’m hungry and fits my schedule. Is it hindering weight loss?

    Not at all. As long as you eat in a deficit you will lose weight. Lots of us, me included, sleep better with food in our bellies. And here's a shocker, even an unhealthy late night meal won't make you gain if you are in a deficit.

    I get very hungry at night. Tonight I had a 325 cal caramel brownie with my dinner of pork and ramen. It fits into my goals though it’s “unhealthy” and I’m still losing weight🤷🏻‍♀️ enjoy your night time meal whatever it may be!

    Both an innocent, free range brownie, and a pig has perished to make your dinner!

    Nope, you're all good! I work rotating shifts so completely bizarre (by "normal people" standards) eating pattern is also what fits my schedule. I ate my last meal at about 11:15pm and I'll eat my next meal at around 4am, then a pre-bedtime shake at about 7am. On Monday, I rotate back to day shift so all of my current meal times will go out the window (I'll keep overall number of daily meals (5-6), overall calories, and macros consistent).

    You'll lose weight when in a calorie deficit, regardless of what the clock says.

    Nope! I often have a snack an hour or so before bed if I'm hungry. If I ignore the hunger and go to bed, my sleep will be disturbed because of that hunger! I've still lost 40ish lbs and have managed to maintain my weight for 3 years .

    I have not been hindered by having both dinner and second dinner #hobbitlyfe
