I had a personal trainer last year, and he said the exact same thing. He also added- no carbs after 6pm.

I often snack late at night. I am a college student, so I stay up really late anyways. So, if I stop eating at 8pm, thats a good 5 hours without eating anything. Often times I am tempted to eat or drink late at night because I live with a bunch of other college students that eat late at night. Any tips so I won't be hungry later in the evening?

I also agree that eating late is a bad idea. I'll often have finished all of my meals by that time, and already snacked. Eating late just adds extra calories!
