Now that you know how important it is to avoid eating late, it would be a good idea to get on a solid schedule that works for your body.
Most people should avoid eating at least 3- 4 hours before bed, so you want to find a breakfast, lunch and dinner that gives you the appropriate amount of time to be settled.
Once you have a routine, your body will begin to expect certain events to take place at similar times each day, making your metabolism run more smoothly.
