    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 do this too. My diary has time slots, not "meals"

    I don't eat a meal after 5pm...unless its a special occasion someone's birthday and a meal out.

    Usually just have a snack somewhere around 7-8pm. If I wake up really early hungry I'll get up to get something, but if not its between 7-9am depending when I wake up.

    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 got to bed anywhere between 11 and 1, and if I eat after 8 I either have nightmares or wake up several times in the night. I also can't eat a really heavy meal - goodbye, Olive Garden for dinner *waves sadly*

    I generally consider the kitchen closed after I finish logging for the day - after my workout, after dinner and I hit the "finish logging" button or whatever it's actually called. I *can*, of course, eat afterwards - nothing's off limits - but I generally choose not to.

    I don't. I eat a late dinner because of my schedule so snacking after dinner is not a problem for me.

    We usually have dinner at around 5.30 so we can all eat together. Works for us as neither me or my husband like eating late and unless I am really hungry I rarely eat after this. Makes me feel ill if I eat late so its not a diet thing just what suits me! My hungry time is usually about 3pm!!!

    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 do that as well. I also find that if I eat later in the evening I wake up straving for some reason. This system works well for me. Besides my digestive system needs time to rest too. LOL

    I've always heard that you shouldn't eat past 10pm, but I'm a terrible snacker. I'm working on that as part of my weight loss goals.
