    I also think that it doesn't matter when you eat.

    For me, it's the same thing the week and the week end, breakfast between 5:00 and 6:00 am and last meal between 6:00 and 8:00 pm.

    breakfast is usually 6:30 ish and dinner anytime between 5-6:30 depending when I get home from work. Not always a snack at night but always a cup of tea.

    I eat breakfast around 7am, dinner 6-7pm, and usually a snack around 9 or 10.

    I get up and go to work around 8, and I usually have coffee and a cheese stick at 8, then a cereal&milk bar at 9 and I have some extra cereal to snack on around 10. I go to lunch at noon and then eat dinner between 6:00 and 7:30, depending on when I get out for/back from my workout in the evening. I usually have a small snack around 9 or 9:30 if I'm hungry, and I try to not eat after 9:30 or 10:00 pretty much every day.

    Weekdays, 8:30 is breakfast, and dinner is usually 5:30-6, sometimes a snack at 8, and bed around 12:30am.

    Usually eat first around noon or 1PM (after getting up between 7-8AM) and then eat last between 8-10PM, depending on when I get home (and not much in between).

    Depends. Sometimes I skip breakfast and don't eat until the afternoon. If I'm hungry, I'll eat, if not, I won't. I usually consume the bulk of my calories at night after my kids are in bed and I can actually enjoy my meal and/or snacks as long as it's in my allotment for the day.

    I typically don't eat until noon at the earliest, sometimes 2-3pm. I am awake at 630am on average. I eat until I run out of calories, consuming most of them later in the evening. I like to go to bed full.

    I don't think it really matters, contrary to the belief of many. I am pretty sure calories don't know what time it is.
    I usually don't want to eat until 10 or 11. Lunch is around 3. I have dinner at 7ish. I can't manage to get the whole family to stick to a meal schedule so it varies.

    I wake up a 5am - 1 hour of cardio in a fasted state followed by breakfast at 7am
    First Meal
    At 8pm I eat something lite before bed - usually a health bar and some juice with some fruit. It varies.
    Last Meal.

    I am not saying I don't blow it at night, because I sure do. Nights are a killer for me.

    Wake between 7:30-8:30am.
    I have my coffee protein shake within the half hour.
    (If it's a run & weights day I have a recovery shake between 10:30-11.)
    I have lunch between noon-2:30.
    A snack between 3-4:30.
    Dinner between 5-7.
    And depending on my calories I have a protein shake around 8:30-9:30pm.
    I go to bed between 10:30-midnight.

    What time I eat has never affected anything.
    How many calories, and how many meals I split my calories into has made a difference though.

    1st at 730 am
    Ice cream at 8pm

    I don't believe that it really matters what time you eat, but for me, personally, I need a cut off time.

    My first meal is sometime after I get up. My last meal is sometime before I go to bed! :bigsmile: That is as tight as I can narrow it! Not every day is identical.

    My first meal is 8:40am and my last meal is 9pm. Then I wake around 2am and eat 6oz of chicken.

    Up at around 6:45, first meal at 11:30 or 12:00 usually (sometimes as late as 3 or 4) , and always something around 10:30 or 11:00 at night (a snack if it's not full-on dinner). If possible, I tend to hoard calories until that late night meal and gorge myself on something right before bed, after my evening workout. Nothing like some gym time and a full tummy to put this gal to sleep! :wink:

    I tend to have breakfast between 8:30 and 9 am, and I have dinner around 6, no later than 6:30. If I get hungry after then, I eat on a fruit and drink tons of water. Then I do a workout at night for about 1 1/2 or 2 hours at the gym anywhere between 8-11 (time varies), but when I make it home I shower and go to sleep unless I am lurking and posting on here. :)

    8 am I drink my body by vi shake for breakfast and 2 glasses of 8oz water
    10 am I have a small snack and 24 oz of water
    Noon I have my lunch and another 24 oz of water
    2 pm I have a small snack and 16 oz of water
    I try to have another small snack at 4 but not all the time I can get it in
    I eat my last meal of the day at 7:30 and another 16 oz of water....

    I have tried to keep this schedule up for the past couple of months and it seems to be working out and losing weight...the only thing I am having trouble with is my sodium intake...

    My food diary is open for all to see for any help and suggestions and feel free to add me as a pal :0)

    I'm a late eater too. I normally only eat a banana in the morning, about 9, then lunch at between 11:30 and 12:30, dinner at 6 or 7. I don't think it matters when I eat, just that I eat. I snack, but only lightly after dinner as I don't like to go to sleep feeling "full"

    I generally get up around 7-8 am (I am a writer) and I will get in 3-4 meals per day. I normally won't eat within a couple of hours of bed.

    I'm up at 5:30, usually have breakfast just before I leave for work about 7:30. I prefer not to eat too close to bed time.

    First around 1-2pm, last around 930pm. Switching to a 16/8 eating style was the best thing I ever did!

    M-F I have breakfast at 6:30 and dinner anywhere between 7-8pm, after my workout. On weekends, anything goes.

    We are up late everyday so breakfast around 12pm, lunch around 4pm and dinner at 8pm. No food after 9pm is my rule since I am an avid late night snacker and its the only way to keep myself in check :)

    First: 7-8am
    Last - 9-10pm

    I don't know how people can fall asleep on an empty stomach

    I eat breakfast as soon as I get up (could be between 7-10 depending on the day and how lazy I am being: ) and have dinner usually around 6:30. Most of the times I have a snack around 8 (usually something that I pretend is dessert...like a yogurt).

    Between 6am-6:30am, I have a protein shake and half of a raw avacodo
    Between 730-800am, I have breakfast, usually Kashi and mixed berries
    Between 10-1030am, I have a protein bar snack
    Around noon, I eat lunch
    Around 3pm, I have a snack, normally turkey jerky
    Around 6pm, I eat dinner
    Before bed (usually around 10pm), I have a night time protein shake.

    Clockwork...I eat spread out just to keep my hunger pangs under control, NOT because of some myths about number of meals and metabolism.

    Depends. Sometimes I have something at around midday/1pm which is when I seem to be getting up these days, sometimes I have nothing until dinner at 8 or 9 and my last food of the day is just before bed at around 2/3am. I have a messed up routine right now.
