Cut off Time for food

[jsj0305]

Okay, I was wondering, do you guys usually set a time, say 8 pm, where you eat nothing after that??

I am a major eater at night, and I cannot stomach foods before noon. Really weird,eh? My schedule is kinda screwy, so this works for me.

What time do you guys stop eating for the night??

I normally try to have dinner by 7pm and nothing more to eat after 8pm.

But.....Some days if I dont manage to fit my three square meals in I found I snacked. So on these days I eat a can of tuna and some celery whenever I feel hungry to stop myself snacking.

Old me was midnight snacks, new me is midnight tuna snack!

I have no time limit! But I am not usually hungry to late!

Re: Cut off Time for food

I don't have a cut off time either. Generally I don't seem to need a snack, but it does make me feel better to know that if I felt I needed one, I could go ahead and have something legal and tasty. In the beginning few months I almost always had a snack because I was re-learning how and how much to eat. But after a few months I found I rarely needed anything.
Knowing I'm allowed to eat when I'm hungry is one of the main things that has helped me through these last two years.

Re: Cut off Time for food

If I'm just starving for nourishment, I'll eat something regardless of the time - and I've never seen any gains this way. However, I prefer not to eat something ultra-heavy after a certain time at night, simply because I am just not crazy about the way it feels the next morning. When I wake up with an empty stomach, I literally bounce out of bed.

I think it depends on your body habits, more than anything else. I can't eat after 8 PM, because I'll be up all night with an upset stomach.

Re: Cut off Time for food

What I did is I made a "rule" to finish up with dinner 3 hours before I plan to go to bed., so it varies from weekdays to weekends, but this way I don't go to bed with a full stomach.

Re: Cut off Time for food

I eat wherever I'm hungry so some nights it is late and others it isn't.

Re: Cut off Time for food

I have no cut-off time for food, but I do stop drinking water 2 hours before bedtime (whenever it happens to be on a given night), and I've gotten so I don't like to eat food unless I have water with it, so it ends up being limiting that way.

Re: Cut off Time for food

I usually don't want breakfast either. I just eat if I am hungry or if I know it will be a while before I am around legal food again. Seems lately I haven't been hungry at night either. I have been dealing with some cravings but that's a whole other story!
