Thanks RunningArt, definitely some important factors for me to keep in mind now.
Since I still haven't got quite a concrete or straightforward answer yet on the subject, what say you about post-dinner meals? And would my body be able to better burn a midnight snack if I did some sort of physical activity, such as core work, to stimulate my body and not slow my metabolism down later at night after this post-dinner meal?
Typically people eat at night because they are bored and watching TV. That's why eating at night is said to be bad. It has nothing to do with actually eating at night. If you're actually hungry, and if you're running and putting in lots of physical activity then I'd say you are, then eat. Also people tend to confuse the body's signals for thirst with hunger, especially in the PM after they've already ran that day and are likely needing more water. Drink a good 20-30oz of water before you decide if you're really hungry or not.
