Cool! Now I don't have to feel bad about the cake and ice-cream I'm going to eat right now. [Wink]

Well my FIL is proof of that! He eats like, twenty minutes before he goes to bed. He's actually lost weight over the last two to three years!

I consume roughly 80% of my daily calories between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. (The other 20% are mostly consumed after 2 a.m.) My body fat percentage has always fallen right on the cusp of "lean" and "ideal" on the body fat graph.
Maybe I'm on to something.
