I have my snack when I feel the munchies. I think the 2-3 hours rule is really geared toward having a meal so soon before bedtime. As this isn't a meal, and it's usually 3+ hours after dinner, it works for me. I'm one who has to "graze" all day, rather than eat 2-3 large meals/day, and my portions are very small (call me a light eater).
Dinner is usually late for me, too, largely because I like to take my time unwinding when I get home from work. Plus, my evening meal is typically relatively light, since I'm usually just cooking for me (or, as is the case for the next couple of weeks while he's home on vacation, and for my DH).
If we don't feed our bodies when we feel hungry, we'll go into starvation prevention mode and start storing more as fat.
What's a "normal" dinner time, anyway, when you're busy, eh?
