"Excellence in Personal Training"

Generally speaking it is absolutely fine to eat in the evening. Ideally, your evening meals and snacks should be smaller than those eaten earlier in the day. A good rule of thumb is to fast through the night (10-12 hours) to help process all of the food eaten during the day. With that in mind, you can work backward from the time you eat breakfast and find a good "cut-off" time for yourself. For example, if breakfast is at 8:00 a.m. every morning, try not to eat after 8:00 p.m. the night before. Keep in mind that there is liberty within the general "rules" of healthy eating. Getting up for a mid-night snack every once in a while typically won't be what wrecks your diet. It's the day to day choices you make that will keep you on track. I am a firm believer in moderation and consistency. Eating healthy foods the majority of the time, not overeating, and staying active are keys to fitness success.
