Should I be eating later?

I'm not a big proponent of intermittent fasting so my answer to this may be different than others, but you pretty much have like 80% of your eating crammed into 1/4 of the day. Feeling very hungry in the morning isn't necessarily a bad thing per se. It is usually the sign of a well functioning metabolism and hormonal balances.

However, going that long between meals and then doing a workout on basically an empty tank probably has some impact on the workout quality as well. It wouldn't hurt to push the dinner back some and see how you feel in the morning. Or move something to the morning prior to the workout.

Ultimately, I don't think we are truly discussing anything that is going to make some monumental difference. I think it is always pretty good advice to just listen to your body. if it is telling you it is starving, probably a good idea to give it what it is asking for at that time. If you push the meal back another hour or two and notice no difference, then go back to how you were if you want to or don't.

While it does make a difference, if your last meal is like 2-3 hours prior to going to bed, that is fine. Majority of this is because your sleep will be impacted by your body having to digest something you just ate. Your insulin resistance does rise some when you sleep, so eating a large meal right before going to bed have you process your food less efficiently and impact blood sugar levels.

What time you are normally going to bed?

So, you shouldn't listen to when you body tells you it needs energy? Interesting theory. Tell me more. I've never known a single person to get overweight giving their body what it needs, only giving their body more than what it needs.

Depriving your body of nutrition is not the answer.

If you’re hungry, eat. Eat the appropriate amount and get as much healthy, low calorie volume you can. Drink lots of water. Fiber. All positive things.

I follow about the same schedule as you. I find that eating my last meal between 530-6 helps me sleep better. I go to bed between 830-9.

None of what you posted gives any insight into your diet. How many calories are you consuming daily and what do the macros look like? Hit those targets then figure out the timing of when you eat.
