Hey all! I was just wondering if anyone is a true believer in not eating past a certain time of day, and if so, after what time do you not eat? Also, what are some good after supper before bed snack ideas? I need some help here to not eat snacky foods
Your input is greatly appreciated! Thank you ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Also, feel free to add me if you would like
The more friends I have the more motivated I seem to get!

I don't have a particular cut off time; however, I tend to eat fruit after 6:30-7:00.0

Assuming you are not overeating and we are strictly looking at WHEN you eat, it makes no difference at all as far as weight loss. I would urge you to let personal preference dictate your meal timing. I prefer most of my calories in the evening.0 -
I eat my last snack of the day (usually ice cream) at midnight, right before I go to bed.0

I've heard different things.. but I dont think you should ever go to bed hungry. If you go to bed hungry then i'd say you're body would react the same way to hunger when you're sleeping as if you were fasting while awake. If you're hungry late, then its important to eat something filling, light, and nutritious!! Veggies and oatmeal are good options.0

I eat snickers and cheesecake minutes before I go to sleep, usually around midnight0

And exactly how does your body react during a fast while you're awake?0 -
I am eating animal crackers right now... I tend to eat around a third of my calories after dinner.0

3 hours before you put your body to rest.0

I find that if I eat anything significant after 8pm, I'm up at 3am with serious acid reflux. (I normally go to bed around midnight, BTW.)0

I've also read about the 3 hours before bed "rule", too. And I usually hit veggies with some cottage cheese.....0

It doesn't matter when you eat your alotted calories...0

I routinely eat my last snack of the night around 10:00-11:00pm. Lately it's a banana cheesecake smoothie. Mmmmmm...... Anyway, nighttime snacks will not negatively affect your results so long as it fits into your calorie budget for the day. I plan out my day such that I have room for 3-5 snacks after dinner. Something about the sun going down just makes me hungry. As you can see from my ticker, it's worked out just fine. Happy snacking! (within reason, of course) :-)0

As far as late night eating...I don't think it's a big deal
as long as you're still ok on calories. My daughter has acid reflux and was told by her doctor to not eat 3-4 hours before going to bed.

It's almost 10:30 here, and I'm about to have a brownie for dessert.0

Calories in vs calories out. Has nothing to do with what time you eat them..

After 11pm, & I'm about to have some cookies.
In my allotted amount of calories for the day, of course.
