not eating after 5pm

I've been told, and really believe, that it does matter what time you eat the food - yes, calories are calories but if one is eating say, 300 calories at 5pm then it could be exercised off but if one eats 300 calories at 8pm at night and goes to bed, watches TV, or just sits around the calories will just aid towards weight gain. That, of course, is my opinion.
