What time do you eat dinner?

[FuckingNoise]

Not breakfast or lunch. Dinner / tea. Third (presumably last) meal of the day...

About 6pm.

Even calories in/calories out is more complicated than it appears. Conincidentally I've just listened to a podcast about this, which some might find interesting.

Around 6.30-7pm.

I have a young toddler too, but he hates sleep so would never be in bed for 6pm as I often read on here. Bedtime for 2 year old 8.30pm onwards

I eat around 7pm, DH eats around 9pm. He just heats it up

Dinner about 12..

Tea... about 8.30-9.30 it's late because DH is never home earlier than 8 and I work shifts

About 5:30 with the kids

7.30 - 8pm. Used to be later when we lived abroad but got it back to a more normal time now.

I like to eat around 7.30, but my teenage daughter tends not to eat more than a piece of fruit for lunch and after 8 hours in school (and an hour commute home) is hungry so we eat at 6.
Which does mean about 10pm I'm hungry again (she's gone up to her room by then).

It's not a "crazy notion" it's commonly recommended not to eat after a certain time of day to help weight loss. And I never said you don't burn calories, you can burn calories sleeping. Just not as many as even light daily activities.

I'm northern and have tea at 5.30. I have autoimmune disorders which means my metabolism is shite. If I eat any later I suffer that night and the following day.😖

Its commonly recommended as a fad and myth but as a nurse I can assure you that's all it is.

7-7.30. DC aged 10 and 12. Both work FT and kids often at some club or another in the evening. I am thin,

We eat about 16.00/16.30, it was to fit around our DS but we all prefer it now.

And I always feel better and less sluggish the next day if I haven't eaten late on in the evening.

varies according to the day of the week

Monday 8:30 after getting back from exercise class
Tuesday - Thursday 6/6:30 because I’m going out to things
Friday 7 - to fit In with dropping off/collecting a child from scouts
Sat, Sun 7-7:30

my ideal is 6pm otherwise I get hungry and snack

Never eat after 4pm.

5:30ish is preferred time here

Depends on who you know I guess but I have defintely never eaten my evening meal at 5.30 and I know that it’s not the norm where I am. Kids don’t usually get in from school until 4.30 / 5 or even later if there are clubs, work doesn’t finish until 5/5.30 and even if working from home I have to then cook. Younger kids get fed at 5, and when kids are older 6.30 would be absolutely pushing it if they were starving. When we worked in the office I wasn’t home much before 6.45 and partner definitely wasn’t home before about 7.30 usually later.

8-9pm. Don’t get home / stop work until gone 6pm. And then gym classes / sports or just need a bit of time before starting to cook, and I try to cook from scratch for most meals. We haven’t got kids yet though, so maybe that will change.

6.30/7

Usually between 5:30pm and 6pm. We are also northern and hungry.

Around 8pm. I get home at 7ish and put DS straight to bed.

It's impossible for us to eat earlier, but when we do eat with DS on a Sunday around 5pm, DH and I end up eating a second dinner as we get hungry. An early dinner every night would probably pile on the weight!

So if it's a myth then why recommend breakfast like a king and supper like a pauper? Also sumo wrestlers eat a big meal (their only one) just before bed to maximise weight gain.

Usually about 6pm

Usually between 6:30-7pm.
