How late should you eat?

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

Also, feel free to add me if you would like The more friends I have the more motivated I seem to get!

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.

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.

And exactly how does your body react during a fast while you're awake?

3 hours before you put your body to rest.

It's not nice to lie......should've at least said FTW

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) :-)

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

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

Doesn't matter when,
as long as you're not overeating!

Weight loss doctors have told me going to bed hungry is good, means your body is burning fat

If I go to bed hungry, I tend to wake up in the middle of the night hungry and go downstairs in a half-awake haze to find a snack. Not the frame of mind you want to be in when making food decisions if you're trying to lose weight. So I don't go to bed hungry. LOL

My time is between midnight and 5:50 AM...while I am sleeping!

Calories are the same at any hour of the day, therefore the body processes calories in the same way at any time of the day

I recommend not eating after you fall asleep. It could get messy.

Sleep Walker? lol

At least this is what works for me, but you will know your body....just my opinion... Good night

That's just it, different things work best for different people, there really is no rule that everyone has to follow for success, you just have to find what makes things easiest for you and stick with it. :-)
