Late night eating

jfauci

I'm an evening muncher too. I just make sure I leave myself enough calories to eat what I want at night.

Eating sweets encourages... more sweet eating. Best way to deal with it is to cut them out. If you have to eat late, have some low glycemic fruit.

I had to change my whole schedule where I went to bed earlier, even on weekends, and moved dinner to a later time. This in turn led to by the time the late night munchies came I was sound asleep. totally works for me since I prefer to workout in the mornings I have more energy to do so as well. Hope you find something that works for you!

Protein bars, Pepper Ridge BBQ Cracker Chips, Special K Sour Cream & Onion Cracker Chips, cereal and bananas, yogurt granola and berries, frozen yogurt, leftovers.

I know I eat all night up until bed time so I do leave cals for night time snacking, but having better choices helps a bit because I can eat more cracker chips than I can chips because 40 cracker chips is only 160 cals :P

Since I am a late night muncher also, I am trying something I read in a magazine a while ago. I am giving my body 12 hours between my last meal and the first meal of the day. Example: if i eat at 8 pm, I know that I shouldn't eat again until 8 am next. I like the fact that I am learning what real hunger pangs feel like again. It has been a long time for me, since I am an emotional eater too! A new way of life is how I am choosing to describe my eating habits. I just have to get my mind and body on the same page, wink, wink! Lots of great ideas, keep striving to find what will work for you.

I'm so glad I chose this post out of the many regarding late night eating...and even happier that I saw this particular comment! I have been beating myself up for doing so well during the day and staying under my calorie goal and then giving in to cravings late at night. I work 3-11pm and tend to want to snack around midnight while I am in bed and up watching television. I have starting buying healthier snacks like multigrain organic chips, kashi bars, nuts, and things like that, but I still end up feeling I've blown it for the day (and also these snacks don't get recorded in my food diary because I have usually already submitted). So anyhow, what I'm getting at is that I love your statement about spacing it out for 12 hours before eating the next day. I am not a breakfast person at all....the only reason I even consume anything before lunch is because I want to have a little something in my stomach before working out late morning/early afternoon.
