I normally eat dinner around 7:00pm.  This just happens to be shortly after
I arrive home from work.  I'm usually in bed around 11:00pm and often have a
piece of fruit or something else shortly before.

It's been in the high 90's the last few days with a heat index of 105-110.
The humidity around here (SW Ohio) is worse than the heat.  I've still been
out on the bike but I take it easy, drink plenty of water and keep the rides
around 10 miles.  I doubt I could run or do anything else in this heat.  I
happen to enjoy biking and don't let the heat keep me off the bike.  It's
the cold that will keep me indoors and off the bike<g>

I eat mine around 5:30 or so.

I still run, just not as much. In May, I would run 40 and 55 minutes
in one run, now it is about 28-30 minutes. I am afraid to run more
when it is so hot. We also had 100 degrees last Sunday, and I ran
about 28 minutes, then immediately went into our backyard inflatable
pool to cool down.

It is a matter of getting used to the temperature, I can do moderate
level activity like gardening in such weather, but I wrap a towel over
my head and need to drink like a horse because I sweat a lot and am
thirsty.

Personally, I do not have a gym membership.

We normally eat dinner at 5 PM which is earlier than I would prefer but my
DH is up at 4:30 each morning and is quite hungry by then.  I normally eat a
light dinner of mostly veggies and some lean protein and then have a snack
about an hour or so before bed, usually yogurt with fruit or a protein
shake.

I try to hit the golf course really early (6AM or so) to get a round in
before it gets too hot.  Our heat wave finally broke yesterday with some
rain so I'll probably be back to normal tomorrow.

Like everywhere else, it is also hot and humid here in Georgia. I'm running
even more, now that I've started a training program for a fall 50K trail
race. I'm about as acclimated to the heat as I'm going to get. The only
change I've made is running during sunset rather than 4:00 PM. Staying
hydrated is an all-day afair. I drink lots of water while at work and also
carry plenty of fluids (Cytomax) while I'm running. Usually about 12 oz
every 2 miles.

During the work week my last meal is around 6:30 but I generally have some
sort of dairy for a snack around 8:30 and try to be in bed by 9:30.

My weightlifting is always limited to the gym, but I only tolerate the gym
for aerobic exercise. My city has had 35 days this year over 100 degrees but
the late evenings and early mornings are still cool enough for cycling or
running (hi Asia, I'm staying safe). And sometimes I just deal with the heat
especially if I'm looking for an excuse to eat something salty.

I recently moved my dinner time to a later hour: 6:30 -7:30. Usually I eat
before 7pm.  I'm in bed about 9pm.  I'm finding that this has eliminated
craves for late snacking.

It's been mid 90's here, and I do my aerobic work early, while it's still
cool out. I just lifted weights (at home), and it was very sweaty work.

We normally eat somewhere between 6,30 and 8.00.  I don't eat again
after that.

As we get up early we tend to go to bed early.  Dinner is usually
between 18.30 and 19.30 depending when DH gets home.  He needs his 30
to 45 min private time first. It is usually bed about 21.30 to 22.30
so no real time to get hungry.

 I eat my dinner about 2:30 to 3:30 am, and go to bed about 4 am.  For
me, it just works eating before I go to sleep.  Going to bed with a
rumbly tummy just doesn't do it for me.  I have ok will power during the
"day" (loosely used here, of course) more or less, but when I am
drifting off I will just obsess about food until I get up and scarf a
ham sandwich or something.

  100F here in Missouri, also.  With humidity.  Me, I either use gym
equipment inside, or go walking after midnight.  Might not work for you,
but works fine for me.

The dogs eat at 3:00 p.m. and I dine at 6:00.

I eat at different times, but usually later rather than earlier.
Unless I go out to a restaurant I don't usually have a particularly
large dinner.  Often, if I get home late (or here in my hotel room),
I'll just have a turkey burger or my poached eggs.  My dinner time
tends to be more 7:30 -- 8:30 most days.  I go to bed around midnight.
If I get hungry I'll have a snack later -- usually either something
light and dairy (like lowfat cottage cheese or yogurt), nuts, or a
small piece of chocolate.  I tend to eat when I'm hungry rather than
worry about having a really regular schedule.

Regarding outside exercise in the heat:  When I'm at the office I'll
walk at lunchtime in pretty much any weather.  Here in NJ I haven't
gone out at lunch at all.  We work through lunch -- though I could take
the time if I wanted to most days -- but it's extremely hot and I have
no way to shower or anything afterward.  I did take a 6-mile walk on
the boardwalk on Sunday.

My informal rule for outdoor running is to not do it if the heat index
(a sort of function of temperature plus humidity) is greater than 85.
At the moment (10 a.m.) here it's 104 :-).

Most of my real exercise takes place in the gym anyway, regardless of
weather.

I don't eat dinner, or any of the formal three meals, unless it is part of a
social ritual.

(Numerous mini-meals instead)

i eat around 7 usually and then eat something again between 10 and 12.
i see no problem with eating after dinner if you're hungry.

no gym membership= much less exercise. it's beautiful here today though
and we're going into NYC so there should be much walking, though also
some alcohol in the evening.

Well, it's not sweltering here in San Francisco, it's going to be about
70 degrees today. :)

Since I wake up at 4am, and get home from work about 4pm, I usually eat
around 5-6pm.
