    What is the latest time you should eat before bed. I think it should be 2-3 hours before bed. What do you think? :)

    I would say ... some time after you fall asleep. otherwise you just can't control the crumbs as well.

    I stop eating when I don't have any calories left...or when I fall asleep, whichever comes first.

    This is why I pretty much have no respect for general doctors and dietitians.

    Stop eating whatever time you're no longer hungry.

    doesn't matter.

    I think you should stop eating while sleeping. That could be dangerous

    This is priceless. =)

    The only time I'd tell somebody to not eat before bed is if it interfered with them getting to sleep. Other than that It really does not matter.

    I've had pretty busy days where I've had to down around 1k cals fairly close to going to bed.

    You shouldn't eat after 8:17 pm EST. That is the cut-off time for which all bad things happen.

    They say you simply must not eat a bite after 11:24...in numerology, you add the 1+1+2+4 and you get 8.

    and They say if it's after 8 - it's too late!

    <personally, i never liked Them, and don't follow what They say, anyway...>

    I, like one other poster, eat in bed, however, once I lay down I must stop eating because I always choke and that's not cool and generally freaks out my dog.

    Eat your calories, whenever you want. If fasting until later in the day allows you to stay within your limits and follow your diet, then have at it. Your results will not be affected.

    I prefer to stop eating before going to bed, at least after the last time I spilled spaghetti on my sheets.

    Sometimes I eat while I'm in bed :) Then I end up getting the itis and falling asleep with food all around me.

    Now that I see how dangerous that can be I definitely need to be careful!

    You should stop eating at exactly 813pm at night and start eating at 533am in the morning, otherwise you won't burn fat and won't lose weight.
