What time is it the absolute latest to be able to get away with eating? I have read that eating near bedtime is unhealthy. At least how many hours should I wait to sleep after eating? I ask this because I get the munchies late at night...

Digesting at night keeps your body too active while your trying to sleep

can keep you awake

and creating lots of calories just before doing less than nothing causes alot of them to be stored as fat

try to eat a small snack 2 hours or so before bed and have your last big meal 4-5 hours before bed and you should be full + rested all day

the idea goes eat like a hueg meal at breakfast, a moderate meal at lunch, like very destitutely poor at dinner. if your up crazy late all the extra light is going make you crazy hungry. only relegate yourself to fruits and water at that time. otherwise you're staying up way way too late, and will have to gorge huge ass calories, or choose to starve. sleep in the complete dark.

check out Lights Out Sugar, Sleep, Survival. Bent Formby PH. D. It's about sleeping when it's dark, waking as closely as possible to dawn, and how diet is changed by being awake at such a weird time.

Go to bed earlier if possible -- don't just sit there in front of your computer for like 5 straight hours leading up to sleep.

Eat a good breakfast, moderate lunch, and moderate dinner -- that way your food consumption balances with your (presumed) activity level.

If you really like eating big dinners (I do), then consider working out and doing cardio in the evenings.

If you simply must indulge in late night snacks, keep them light and keep them healthy. No frozen pizzas and beefaroni and shit like that.

all bullshit
calories eaten - calories burned = you're fat
makes entirely no difference when you intake them.
if you store them as fat and then burn the fat that make no difference either.

Most days if I'm motivated/ not depressed I'll drink a protein shake at midnight right before I go to bed. Eating before you sleep is healthy...because your body essentially is starved of nutrients for 7-8 hours. True, you may not want to eat before bedtime if your're trying to lose weight, but if your trying to put on muscle mass it's a good thing.

there's a natural desire to gorge on more calories late at night. just sleep normally and it's ok.

I think the idea is that your metabolism isn't constant throughout a 24 hour period. I think the common folk wisdom is to not eat past 8 PM if you're on a normal schedule.

Regardless, the best path is several smaller meals throughout the day. A lot of people recommend big breakfasts, or big lunches, and so on. Preferably, you should eat 6 somewhat equal half meals at regular intervals. Keep that fire stoked.
