I'm a 19 year old student at the University of Arizona who just finished my freshman year for my computer engineering degree. Sounds pretty nerdy, right? The catch is that I'm gay. Now I'm trying to balance a difficult degree with the kind of fitness and looks that I want. As I learn about fitness though maybe I can help others. I've got pretty good grades at least, so I can give advice on that.

I do not have a steady schedule, sometimes I am up all night and sometimes I'm up all day. I am working out and I would like to make sure when I eat doesn't effect all my work during the day. I am planning on working out for 30-45 minutes a day and eating no more than 1700 total calories (1500 is the basic goal, 1700 is my splurge max). If I do eat at let's says 4 in the morning, how long should I wait before I go to bed? Or does it not matter as long as I am burning off enough calories throughout the day?
Thanks (link)
The healthiest (and most difficult) way to eat is to eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. If you eat a small meal every three hours or so you can greatly improve your metabolism.

In general, I would not suggest eating any kind of large meal within 3 or less hours of going to bed.
