There is nothing wrong with eating in the evenings. It bears no impact whatsoever on weight loss.

Meal timing/frequency is all personal preference.

Go to sleep. Watch TV. Read. Groom myself (nails, eyebrows, etc). Clean. Laundry. Exercise.

this is absolutely true

Save yourself some calories so you can have a decent snack.

Drink water/herbal tea
exercise
talk on the phone
go to sleep
(for me, watching TV increases my urge to snack)

I would love some new ideas as well! I make hot or iced tea with a little agave nectar - lots of flavors to pick from and helps with my sweet tooth a little bit.

I don't bt if its monitoring "calories" you're attempting to do, I choose low cal healthy snacks/food options or "liquids"

Please stop yelling.

Make sure you eat a balanced dinner with protein, carbs (veggies!!!) and good fats. Why do you not want to eat in the evenings? That's when I have my biggest meal.

all in the same night? In that order?

To the OP - the above posters are correct. If you have calories left for the day, weight loss has NOTHING to do with what time you eat. I typically eat 750-1000 calories every night within about an hour of bed.

I eat most of my calories in the evening. If you know you're going to be hungry save some calories to use then. If you're too hungry during the day to do that consider re-evaluating your calorie goal or weight loss per week goal to give you more to work with.

sorry about yelling

I forgive you. I know you didn't mean it.

If you know this is a time where you lose control why not save some calories for the evening?

I just don't put food in my mouth.

Yes, that sounded sarcastic, but it's the truth. If I've reached my goals for the day, and I'm still hungry, it depends on if it's real hunger or if I'm just wanting to munch on something. If I'm honestly truly hungry, I'll eat something around 100-200 calories...if it's just me wanting to munch...then I just deal with it and move on.

Adding 100-200 calories a couple nights a week isn't going to derail me at all. I don't know what you're settings are, but if you're looking to lose 2 lbs a week and are big enough for that to be a realistic goal, then 100-200 calories a couple times a week isn't going to set you back enough to make that big of an impact either.

Brush your teeth. Nobody likes to ruin that minty freshness :bigsmile:

mindysue09

brush your teeth!!! it works for me

coverley54

I think my body is adjusting to lower calorie intake, surely it will get used to it one day, right?? I need to lose at least 30 lbs, that's my goal!

Go to the gym//exercse it gives you more calories to eat.

To avoid eating in the evenings if that's my goal for some reason, like I have a late appointment or want to go to bed early....then I eat in the late late afternoon. Like say I know I'm gonna be at a meeting from 8 to 10 and there will be no food or gross food I don't like and I'm gonna get home too tired to even grab a snack.

I will eat at 7pm at home before I leave, or sometimes even take a snack to eat in the car right before I head in and maybe take a bottle of water.

I'm a late night eater, and if anything interferes with my late night eating, I just make up for it earlier in the late afternoon.

UNLESS I'm going to a party or anyplace when I might have coffee and come home with energy and be up late then I save my late night snack for that time and eat it when I get home. Doesn't matter if it's 9pm or midnight. As long as it fits my cal goals for the day I eat it when I want it.

I like your dicipline! thanks!

Drink water and go to bed... I used to fast to cut my hunger down to size as well but it's not the best choice to do so.

Another option, eat a higher protein meal and include some complex carbs, they keep you fuller longer and when you are full it's easier to not 'snack' unless it is mindless, if you are a mindless snacker or you snack because it's there then it might be time to prune the cupboards and rid yourself of temptation.

I net 1600 calories a day, and that gives me plenty of room to budget calories for evening. What works best for me is to have a very tiny breakfast and gradually ramp up my calorie consumption during the day. I'm nearly always able to fit in an evening snack without going over budget. Sometimes, though, I'm really glad I worked out and got some extra calories to work with.

I don't usually stress...If I'm legitimately hungry...then my body is telling me something. One day isn't going to "ruin" everything. Now mind you...if it's every day...then you definitely need to reevaluate the situation. Go for a walk...bike...run...gym...exercise...move your body. When you do these things...you burn calories...and then BOOM...you can eat more. Crazy right?! Also...if you're eating a lot of sugars...this is what can sometimes trick your body into feeling full and satisfied...whereas, your body burns it quickly and then you're hungry again. Try to fill up on good carbs and proteins...you can eat less, and feel fuller longer.

:yawn: Hot green mint tea. Help settle your stomach, cures your snacking urge ans the warmth makes me sleepy.

I recommend standing on your head for 60 seconds, then doing 2 minutes of jumping jacks, then doing about 3-5 minutes of lunges around the house, then 2 more minutes of jumping jacks, then 1 minute of squats, then do some bicycle crunches, regular crunches, some push-ups, 2 more minutes of jumping jacks, then eating something. Problem solved...you got an extra workout in and you got to eat something.
