Sooo I was wondering everyones thoughts on eating past midnight, I do know this isn't the best idea ever lol but id does happen
occasionally. My Question is, If you eat past midnight, and you have calories left from, the previous day.. would you log them on that
day or the next as breakfast?

I used to work 12 hour nights and would change my eating times at 7am,sleep and start over around 6pm to 7am,my co workers all had varying methods of madness to our diets and eating habits,so i think it would depend on lifestyle..now on days i have changed again lol!! whatever works0

My body doesn't know what time it is. If I haven't gone to bed yet, then it's still the same "day", so to speak. So I always log after-midnight calories on the current day. (I do this regardless of whether I have calories left to use. Though I have been tempted numerous times to put it on the next day's log just so I don't look like I've gone over my limit. LOL.)0

if i havent gone to bed yet, i log it as the previous day.
many many times i eat after midnight because i dont usually go to bed until 1am. i log it all along with whatever else i ate that day, under my "8pm until bed" section lol0 -
I log anything I eat before sleeping on the previous day. I'm usually up until 2-3am, so it's not 'the next day' yet in my brain. That's how I've always done it, on any diet/plan I've ever been on.0

NEVER eat after midnight.

I eat whenever I am hungry no matter what time it is. I'm convinced it doesn't really matter. Hasn't stopped me yet.0

I think of each day being separated by sleep.0

Personal preference honestly. just keep it consistent.
If I eat after midnight I count it as a new day :]0 -

And water, DEFINITELY stay away from water...0 -
I try to discourage myself from eating late...so I'll log it on the next day if I snack after midninght. When I do that I will usually be more careful to make it a small snack like one prune or an applesauce snack cup or half a mug of warm milk...it helps me sleep to have just that little bit of carb.0

log under Gremiln time...hahaha0

lol i love this!0

if I do I log it for breakfast. after midnight is a new day for me0

I eat after midnight every night. then again I work nights. And if you are up, why starve your body? I wouldn't sit down and have a tub of icecream but a yogurt, thats yummy...0
-
Guilty! Sometimes I stay up until after midnight, so I can log my before bed snack on the next day, lol! Not a good idea because I'm already in debt for the next day.0
-
as for what meal it is? I changed my settings. There are 6 spots allowed here. I broke it down from midnight to 4 and 4 hour breaks from there. That way I can track what hours I eat stuff better and see what works for me. I don't have breakfast, as I never fast. I am not religious. I don't fast...
I do try to have at least 1 4 hour spot without food in it, if I can sleep more than 4 hours that is...0 -
I'm almost always eating after midnight. I tend to leave work around 10:30 pm so by the time I get home and cook dinner, it's midnight. I count my days as the time I get up until the time I go to sleep - not 12am-11:59pm. I would think either way would work. As long as you average the number of allotted calories per day.0

Truth be told, I break my meals down by time. 7 to 10 am 11am to 1pm , , , 11 to 1am. Note: That 1:59am would still be 1am log time. But what ever you do track it the same way. But really it dose not matter, it the end it is simply for you to keep track.0
