Does the time you wake up affect your calories?
 

Okay so this isn't about counting calories itself but it has to do with it:
So when does the day 'start' and 'end'? Like today I woke up at one in the afternoon and besides that being horrible for my sleep-clock, would it affect how many calories I eat tomorrow? Like if I got up at 8:00 in the morning tomorrow and had breakfast, would I be eating for 'yesterday' instead of that day because I woke up so late and therefore my 'morning' is my 'evening'?
Does anybody get what I'm saying? Sorry if this is like a dumb question but it's been bugging me.

My "day" goes from wake up to sleep, regardless of the amount of time between the two.

Same for me.

Me too, for the most part. Now, say I wake up super hungry and can't sleep at 4am. If I eat a snack I'll count that for the next day. But otherwise I just go from whenever I get up to whenever I go to bed.

I eat my goal amount of calories regardless of when I wake up. Of course, frequently if I sleep really late it means I'll be up basically all night, so I keep that in mind and try to space my calories for the day out so that I eat some during the later times I'm awake.

Okay thanks for the replies =].

It doesn't affect me. The thing is, I don't eat first thing when I wake up. And then I get busy so I kind of "forget" to eat. So if I get up at say 10, I literally won't eat till like 3 or 4, and at that time my mom is making dinner so I usually just eat dinner. Probably not the best thing to do but it's just my schedule. Other days, I could wake up at noon, and eat an hour later and be good till later on like say 7 or 8. Since I started watching what I've been eating and doing this whole portion control thing, I don't eat as much and get full off of little things so I don't eat as much because of that.
