Evening eating

Does anyone put a curfew on their eating in the evening?

I'm always hungry about 8/9pm so I couldn't put a stop to my evening eating!

Not intentionally but I generally don't eat after about 7. I don't like to eat just before bed.

By the time I'm home and have cooked it's usually about 8.30. Ideally I'd eat a bit earlier though.

I'm usually hungry by the time I get home from work, so try to eat early-ish (otherwise I'd snack loads!), but I'd try not to eat too late generally anyway, it doesn't feel great going to bed with a full stomach.

I have alight snack in the evening, may be a Fruit. It keeps me healthy as well as I can eat dinner properly.

They say you should try to eat the majority of food in the morning/afternoon don't they? So you have time to burn it off -or, do you think a calorie is a calorie whenever you eat it?

I think it's more relevent to people who are sedentary. I try and eat my evening meal before 7pm but I will eat later if I'm still hungry. An active person will burn it off, a sedentary person risks accumulating calories and it's quite easy to sit in front of a TV snacking! It's still better to eat the main meal a few hours before bedtime though, not nice to have a fully digesting stomach during the night!

When they say to eat breakfast like a king etc. etc., as hungry as I am in the morning I couldn't imagine eating the same amount as I would for an evening meal. I always prefer a smaller breakfast, like muesli.

I eat like a horse in the morning, it's when I'm at my hungriest and breakfast is my favourite meal. I don't serve much for my evening meal unless I REALLY like it. My breakfast obviously wouldn't match up to Sunday Dinner proportions, but it's significantly larger than my evening meal 95% of the time.

I am always so hungry in the morning!  Even if I get up really early I still have to eat

I'm never that hungry in the morning. I'm happy to wait two hours before I eat breakfast. 

If I did that, say when I'm going out for breakfast, I always need a glass of orange juice or a piece of fruit first -just to take the edge off my hunger! i think I'd go all shaky if I waited for two hours without eating a thing. Do you wait this long every morning then?

It doesn't affect you if you're used to eating this way. I rarely ate breakfast when I was at secondary school, just couldn't face it. I wouldn't eat until morning break at 11am and I used to get up at 6:30am every day. I was active with it too, had a horse that needed sorting out each morning. Funny, because if I don't eat something within 30 mins of waking now I start to feel shaky and sick!  I have been in the habit of eating breakfast for about 7 years now though.

That's probably a good thing if you get shaky, makes you eat in the mornings.  I eat my breakfast when I get to work each day at about 8am.  I rushed it before I went to work but now that I eat it in work it's so much better!
