honestly, there's nothing wrong with a late night snack, but it all depends on what your late night snack is. think about it, if you eat dinner at 6:00pm and your next meal is breakfast at 8:00am, that's 14 hours that your body is without nutrients. that's like eating breakfast at 8:00am, and not eating another meal until 10:00pm, which sounds absurd. your body does need nutrients while your asleep, after all, it doesn't stop everything when you fall asleep...
and just remember, everyone's body is different, and what works for me may not work for you. also, that's my theory for losing weight, once you reach your destination weight you should increase the size of your dinner, for the reason that i mentioned above...
good luck...
