I wanted to comment here but all the good things were said by you.
I am guilty not of eating late but of eating continuously =)
Indeed many of the things I eat and I didn't use to count had more calories than the sum of the rest of the meals. Thankfully I can stuff myself with 4000 kcal a day without gaining significant weight but this will change and I will adjust the intake.

It all depends on the responsibility and the will to actually lose weight. This is where the errors happen for most :D
