I really dislike trying to go to sleep while I'm bothered by hunger pangs. Does anyone have a low calorie idea for quieting a hungry tummy?

    I design my eating so I have specific calories and macros left at bedtime. anything is low calorie if you eat a small amount. The old addage "Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail" appear to be appropriate here . . . IMHO

    I've been snacking on dried cranberries a lot lately, the ones I buy are 40 cals for a 50g serving, and that is way more than enough for me. I tend to serve myself 25g at a time to snack on.

    My last bite finishes about 2 hours before bedtime so I do feel a little hungry but it's not unbearable - try eating a light meal slightly later after dinner if that fits your schedule.

    I schedule an evening snack into my cals/macros. Tonight I've planned a strawberry Muller rice.

    Whatever fits my calories. A bit of cheese is a favorite.

    I usually top lowfat, plain yogurt with berries, blend up a fruit smoothie, or just have a single serving of fruit by itself. In my opinion, portion control is just as important as what you actually eat.

    I usually have an apple or piece of melon. I find that does the trick. You could just save some calories then have whatever you can 'afford'

    My personal trainer had me eat low fat cottage cheese, not nonfat. The fat is to satiate you, the protein is to keep you fuller longer and helps feed/preserve muscles during weight loss. That can become any low fat/protein combo you enjoy, as long as you plan for it and stay within your calorie goals.

    honestly I just drink a glass of cold water. Eating at bedtime makes my stomach hurt when I lay down.

    I have an ice cream or popchips whilst I'm watching tv - because I generally have at least about 100 or 150 calories left

    then I have a long bubble bath

    I have stocked up on Nakd bars - There lovely! So I have them in my bedroom if I am peckish!!! You should try them? Apple pie is my fav!

    But normally I crave chocolate, so I always pop out to the kitchen ... Oppps!!!!!

    Maybe our sugar levels are low at this time? Or maybe I am just naughty :wink:

    I tend to go for a boiled egg, with an apple if I'm still a little peckish, or low fat chocolate milk with an apple :)

    Carbs. Carbs increase the availability of the hormones melatonin and serotonin, which help you sleep.
