I've given up snacking entirely, it's easier for me to abstain than moderate, so now it's three meals a day only. I also listen to a hypno meditation audio daily to help reinforce this behavior.

Few things I do to minimize the damage of night time snacking:
Brush my teeth early, the mint in your mouth help reduce craving, also to lazy to brush teeth again
Have low calorie snack prepackaged ready on hand, so when I did really want a snack it won't be over my budget
Freeze the temptation like left over pizza, I feel bad throw out food and left them in the fridge is tempting, so divide these to small servings and freeze.

There's nothing wrong with snacking as long as you're not going over on your calories. If you want a snack and you have 200 calories left, have a little snack. I ALWAYS save calories for a night snack because I know every night around 8 or so I'm craving something sweet. But if you feel like you wouldn't be able to stop after a little than maybe abstain from night time snacking all together, everyone's different, use your best judgement. Good luck!

if im hungry after a certain time it didnt work telling myself no to food at night because i love night time eating, But i allow myself 200 calories of frozen fruit i save calories for (you get a surprising amount for 200 lol) And i eat little bowls of fruit. And if im hungry after that, Non starchy vegetables only. I do like those and sometimes ill still boredom eat them but atleast my snacking is nourishing my body nicely and giving me lots of fiber and water and keeping me from reaching for other stuff that totally throw me right off. No one gets fat off non starchy vegetables.

Telling myself i cant eat past a certain point doesnt work im to stubborn lol

Yea I know don't work for me either lol thanks for the help.

I have a full breakfast and moderate dinner, and rather than lunch, have one or two light snacks during the day. That leaves me with quite few calories for dinner and after. After dinner, I make a smoothie with frozen fruit (usually a cup of mixed berries and cherries or a frozen banana), an ice cube, almond milk, yogurt, and flavored protein powder. The frozen stuff makes it thick like a milkshake. That fills me up nicely and still leaves me with calories for a light snack after if I still want it. There's more than one way to deal with a nighttime snacking habit - I decided planning around it was the way to go for me.

Hi Ralphone,
I snack too, especially at night. What I find helpful is not having “bad” stuff laying around and have plenty of low calorie options that I like ready in the fridge, like any fruit, carrot, cherry tomatoes etc. After that I have couple of crackers and two mini super thin slices of my favourite cheese before I go to sleep so the last I taste is savoury.
Another strategy I have for the evening snacking problem is that I split my dinner in two parts and have the second part later at night and closer to bed time.
Hope this helps.

All great ideas. I did not do so well on Sunday. Kinda just had to many snacks over the course of the day. Today is a new day. Hope to do better today.
