[QUOTE= If I have a late dinner (8pm) should I skip my 3rd IP packet because of the late hour (9pm) plus I'm not hungry. Thanks for any advise you can lend.[/QUOTE]
Don't skip your packets. I know they say to eat early and not within so many hours of bedtime, but you'll slow your losses if your calorie/macros intake dips too low. I found this out the hard way. I started keeping a shake in the car and drinking it on the ride home, then having my dinner anywhere from 8-10 pm (because that's when I was finally home).
