You are right of course. No food after 19.00 works for people who go to bed at 22.00-23.00, otherwise according to the circumstances.

There are brillant, gaudy, glittering textiles being sold. This is,because the Nomadic women wear them. These proud women wear big skirts of these glittering fabrics, and some black thin shawls over their head. No one would dare tell them to wear a chador. It is a sight to see them swaggering through the bazaar, with their big skirts, head high and fierce eyes. Bravo; I find it exciting, these free women.

fascinating! any idea what sect they are?

Its not true, mostly due to most people are affected by different factors, such as metabolism rate, stress, daily schedule, meals rations, snack rations, region, exercise, diet (as food variety), and a long, loooooooong etc.

As you made a statement, according to logic, showing a contradictory case would be proof enough to tell, that said statement is false.

Particularly, I, tend to eat a lot in small portions through out the day.

Most of my days would be something like:
8~10 am:
get up > shower > breakfast: milk+cocao+something sweet to fill my tummy (toasts, or some granola cookies).
11am~13 pm: i drink mate, and maybe some 5 cookies or something to ea
13~15 pm: have lunch, usually some red meat or rice or pasta, and most of the times, small portions around the size of a fist. Any fruit as dessert (banana, apple) ( an adult's fist obviously; wonder why english ppl bothered to measure everything realated to the body!)
15~19 pm: drink mate and have a mid afternoon snack.
20~22pm: have dinner: mid size portion, trying to eat 1 salad every one day (tomatoe + lettuce usually) (the size of an open hand). eat a green apple, or some other fruit available.
23~1am: drink mate, or some tea, and a piece of chocolate.

I m 23 years old, 1,87 mts, weight 70~75 Kg. (don't trust the body fat factor... it usually tend to measure skinny people as skinnier and fat ppl as obese, its distorterd)

First of all: welcome to Mobileread. I do find your post a little rude, especially the first sentence. It's okay to tell people what they believe is wrong, but there's no need to tell them to 'cut the cr*p'.

While it's not true that calory intake late at night will cause weight gain, it is true that for most people the time between dinner and bedtime is the hardest part of the day. People tend to snack. That's why some dietitians tell their patients no eating after 8PM for example. All those snacks are extra calories. Small portions are the right way to go, although yours are really very small.

In my cup: a glass of water before going off to bed.

[The Terminator]

Hot chocolate.

[ProfCrash]

Water and some yogurt.

[CWatkinsNash]

Coke Classic. The decaf evening coffee is brewing.

Also welcome to MR and I agree with Iridal on the 'rude' part. One can always edit a post.
But welcome, welcome to MR

Ahmad tea in my cup.
Off for a day sightseeing in Shiraz, yes, life is hard, being a traveller.

What I meant was stated in your post

late = soon before going to bed.

Really, I admire you for your enthusiasm about traveling and being a (temporary?) vegetarian. Tofu every day? You're serious?

this is new, thanks for enlightening me Iri I should've given you some K but as always, I was told I must spread it somewhere else.

@ Rainmaker: welcome to MobileRead. I like the way you organize your meals, so specific and scientific.

I'm drinking water. Chocolate chunk crispy cookies on the way.
