How late in the day is too late to eat dinner? I have been trying to find a good balance between working out, working my job, and eating meals. Lately I have been working until nearly 8pm every night, then rushing home to get on the treadmill. Once I finally get home for the night it's bed time. My mom always told me it is bad to eat dinner after dark, but that seems to be the only time that fits into my schedule. I don't want to skip dinner, but I don't want to go to bed on a full stomach. The past week has definitely tested my strength to resist stopping at McDonalds. Fast food is so convenient and, well.....fast!! I have managed to eat healthy and get all of my workouts in this week, but I am not sure how much longer that will last.  I often wonder how people juggle life and manage to stay fit and active. Hopefully I can figure this out and get back into a routine.
