Lightly, or not at all.
Aim to eat your last meal of the day in late afternoon or early evening, and give your body at least 12 hours to rest from eating and to digest fully before eating again.
Drink water or (unsweetened) tea for the remainder of the day.
You'll enjoy better sleep following this eating pattern, and you'll also avoid undesirable weight gain from snacking or overeating more food than your body actually requires.
Your hunger cues will adjust to your new eating pattern.
As with breakfast, base your supper on protein (ideally animal source protein, with some fat) and on fiber—from green, leafy vegetables and/or starchy vegetables, like tubers, beets, turnips, or squash, or legumes, rather than from grains.
(Meat and vegetable soups or stews, or curries—served over quinoa, riced cauliflower or potatoes, rather than rice—make a nourishing choice for supper, besides being filling, easy to prepare, and an economical meal solution.)
