Time to not eat

There is no issue with eating late when it comes to losing weight. Some medical conditions, like acid reflux, may require one to avoid eating late or shortly before bed, but other than that, if it doesn't bother you, eat when ever you want.

I also work shift work. Many days, the vast majority of my calories are consumed later in the day. It is after 9 pm here and I still have two meals left to eat. I have lost weight with no issue.

I agree with the furry posters above... if your hungry and you have cals left, EAT!

Many people (myself included) like to have something after dinner, so save some room in my diary for a desert or something to have at night. Eating before bed will not make you fat... eating more calories than you are allowed in total will!

I work afternoons and really try to get right to bed because I get up so early but I still eat my snacks late. Someone once gave me some advise and told me to eat my carbs earlier in the day and end my day with protiens so I do try this.

No, not really. My philosophy is that simple works...until it doesn't. When I had 70 pounds to lose, simple worked just fine. No matter when I ate, whether I ate 3 or 6 meals, whether I did long slow cardio or intervals, whether I ate potatoes everyday, whether I ate a small snack at 3 am when I couldn't sleep...didn't matter. I had a lot to lose, and I lost.

When I had 10-15 pounds to lose, I had to get all tricky!

No sense in "getting tricky" until you have too! Enjoy the fact that you are at a weight loss stage where a few simple, basic, principles will probably work just fine.

I so like this answer. +1

ditto true story brah.

Not really, since I don't believe eating before sleep will make you gain weight. I think most people just end up getting bored in the evening and eating, hence the extra calories.

I try not to eat super later, mainly because it's almost always boredom eating, but if I'm hungry I'll eat. I try to wrap up my eating at around nine maybe though.

It doesn't make any difference to your body - the only reason I can see for having a cut off time is if you are trying to break a habit of mindless evening snacking. But, if you have the calories left then eating anytime is OK.

I practice intermittent fasting so 10pm-2pm I dont eat.

Is there is a time you will not eat food past?

I have not been eating after dinner for the most part BUT I do shift work and work in a hospital until 11pm some nights and like tonight its almost 8:30 and my stomach is growling at me! I pulled out some carrots to munch on but am wondering if I shouldnt be eating this late...thoughts?

The jury remains out on this issue.
I don't know what is best.

Here is what I do: eat right up to bedtime.
I must, because the cravings set in if I don't, and I'll toss sleeplessly until I cave in.
BIG TIME PIG TIME!

No more of that.
So, I eat my last little, healthy meal right at 9pm, then hit the hay 30 minutes later.
I guess this beats the alternative.

LOL This is so me for like the last 2 weeks... I'm gonna try your idea.
