or before bed.

I know its bad - but still - so good.

i do it on occasion, but not straight before bed. usually at about midnight, when im planning to sleep at 2 am or something. usually, its a cheese, pepperoni and mustard on toast

I usually have vegetables. Peppers, cherry tomatos, cucumber, raw brocolli etc/ Makes for a nice snack.

I have fruit, or occasionally tortilla chips with a bit of salsa if I'm in need of my habanero fix.

I like dinner to be the last thing in my day if possible

Just don't eat cheese.

haha thats a wives tale. Eating right before sleeping is no different than eating 10 hours before sleeping.

I came in here to post this.

I usually find myself eating dinner around 9 or 10 (my teaching schedule usually runs through 5-7 or so, when most people eat dinner in the states). Besides, its easier to get good reservations later in the evening, and I like eating at 9 or 10, before 2-4 hours of evening activities and going to bed at a reasonable hour (usually around 2).

Simply based on personal experience I'd say it has little to no effect. At one time in my life I ate constantly in the wee morning hours and never gained an ounce.

We're talking peanut butter by the gob at 5 a.m., to bed by six.
