Day 2 of feeling hungry at bedtime. I can't sleep. I am establishing a bedtime routine. I've drank water. Lots of water.
Any suggestions?

If you’re hungry, eat. Save some calories for a bedtime snack.3

I learned that it's better not to swim against the tide. It's certainly better for the people around me. So I usually have a late dinner and a 2-300-cal reserve for in-bed snacking. Planning and CICO are everything2

If I’m hungry just before bed I’ll eat yogurt. There’s a good range of calories depending on fat and sugar content so you don’t have to go way over. If that’s not a good pick for you just choose something that is low carb and low sodium so you don’t wake up puffy.1

You're on day 2, it takes a while to get used to eating less calories.
If its mostly at night time when you feel this, save some of your calories for a filling night time snack.
Drinking water helps, or tea.

If you're hungry because you haven't eaten enough, eat more. If you have cravings, eat something you like.1

Thank you! These are most helpful. I was doing fine until these last 2 days. I'll go grab some yogurt and save some calories for that before bed. *crosses fingers*0

Helloty for your insight. I appreciate it. Also, what's CICO?

Lots of people pick a deficit that's too aggressive. You don't have to start with losing 2 lbs a week... 1 lb is better than crashing and giving up after a week.
Also, more protein, fiber, and fat.1 -

Calories in, calories out. Losing weight by (the only) way of creating an energy deficit can generally be subscribed to a smaller input (how much you eat) than output (how much energy you expend). Here's a wonderful post from someone in the community explaining things much better than I could: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1399829/step-by-step-guide-to-losing-weight-with-myfitnesspal3 -
a little yogurt helps me with this, also a good book1
