    My kitchen is open 24/7/365, whenever I am hungry. I divided my diary into time periods so I'm aware of when I eat and can make good choices, but I don't have any "no-no" times.

    I don't because I can't sleep if I'm hungry. And usually get up to eat something and go straight back to bed, which may be worse than a small snack an hour or so before bed. IDK. It hasn't been so much of a problem with MFP in my life every day!

    Really it depends on the night. . try to make it between 6-7pm, but if it is a movie night with my daughter we will have popcorn. .

    I generally don't eat after dinner which I try to have around 6ish so that we can eat as a family. But sometimes my husband and I have our dinner after the kids go to bed, around 8. I'm pregnant right now though, so if I'm hungry, I eat!

    NEVARRR! ;p

    It's not eating after a certain time that inhibits weight loss. It's OVER-eating ANYTIME that inhibits it.

    I try to stop eating about an hour before I retire for the night which is usually around 11:30.

    nope! my body runs on a 26-hour clock, so there are times when i wake up at 10 pm, it would be kind of useless to have a cut-off time. i usually stop eating about 3-4 hours before i fall asleep :)

    8 PM for me, though I will have a glass of milk every once in a while if I feel a little peckish before bedtime. If I go to bed with a full stomach I have a lot of trouble sleeping so 8 is usually a good cutoff time for me.

    i close my kitchen at least 3 hours before bed...i want to have time to digest my food and hopefully burn some of it off! luckily i dont really get hungry at night. if i did, i believe i would have to find something high in protein and easy to digest.

    I try to stop eating a couple hours before bed, so the specific time depends on the night. More about having a crumb free mouth for brushing, than anything else.

    Dinner is my last meal. I eat dinner no later than 7 and I don't eat again.

    I allow myself a light yogurt, (80 cal) or a snack an hour or 2 after dinner. Then subconsciously, the kitchen is closed for the evening. If my ways always worked, I wouldn't need to lose weight, so am gaining new insight from everyone here on MFP! Good luck this weekend everyone....weekends are sometimes a little harder for me.
