Dinner and later-getting through the rest of the day

Songbird61377

During the first several hours during the day my eating habits are in great shape, things begin to get tricky in the late afternoon and continue into the late evening (4pm-night). I realize this time of the day is difficult for many folks, that's when healthy habits seem to go astray way too often. I pinpointed some reasons: everyone is tired, dinner is not cooking fast enough, kids fighting, so generally stress is the factor.
So my idea was to share some possible solutions to tackle this issues. For me dinner and later has been seriously sabotaging my weight goals in the last several months. I would love to hear from anyone! If you found your golden ticket to this issue, please share!

I don't do "hungry" at night- if I'm hungry at night- I'm going to eat.

But if I'm hungry in the morning- meh- no biggie.

So solution for me has been to do essentially (I didn't realize this) an intermittent fasting situation- where I don't eat till after 12-1ish mid day- and then when I get home around 10- I can still have a fairly substantial meal. win win.

Budget calories for that time of day. I am usually hungry between 4-8 and try and eat a high protien snack
