It is good to eat your last meal of the day about three to four hours before going to bed. And once you are done, you should not eat anything at all after that. A good way to stop yourself is to brush your teeth immediately after dinner. Oprah's personal trainer, Bob Greene, strongly opposes snacks after dinner and attributes the bad habit to rapid weight gain.
