Today I only ate 500 calories because I was super busy and didnt have time to think about it, and now it is 9:40 pm and Im ready for bed but im STARVING and super crancky from not eating. I know I shouldnt eat this late at night; is it better to go to bed hungry after only consuming 500 calories or should I eat this late at night?

    Please eat.

    It is a myth that eating must stop after a certain time. I would only avoid something if it would interfere with sleep, such as caffeine.

    Good excuse to eat a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles and chocolate syrup.

    Eat ~ There is even something called intermediate fasting, basically you dont eat all day, then get all your calories in an 8 hr window, usually late at night. Plus you'll wake up sick tomorrow if you dont, as bad as you feel now you'll feel that much worse tomorrow ~ I know that from personal exp, cause I used to be really bad to forget to eat :/

    Eat!
    Real food not junk, so you give your body some nutrition.
    And then plan a healthy breakfast and some easy snacks for tomorrow before you go to bed.

    I always save enough calories to have some sherbet about 1/2 hour before I go to bed it also helps to keep the metabolism going while you sleep if you eat a little something.

    Just for the sake of being redundant....eat something (healthy)!

    eat something. a slice of pizza or a big bowl of cereal. just as long as its healthy. in my opinion, you shouldn't eat less then an hour before going to bed, but mitigating circumstances... knock yourself out.
