Have you considered saving more of your daily calories to eat in the evening? Also, you should definitely look at setting your protein and fiber targets, so you can feel fuller longer. If you haven't read this yet, it is an excellent place to get started:

Someone suggested I save my calories for later in the evening.0 -

Budget your calories ... if you like to eat more at nigh, then save some for nighttime ...0

Oddly enough I did fast today up until 12:00 if you can even call that a fast.0

I'll second what Cindy said. It doesn't matter much when you eat, it all comes down to how much you consume in total.
Having some decent options on hand might stop you reaching for the calorie dense snacks. 100 cal bags of popcorn, sugar free jello or pudding, diet deserts can all be around the 100 cal mark or less, but if you want something more just budget for it.
You could look at making some more macro friendly desserts if you feel so inclined too, look up protein fluff, or high protein pancakes or cheesecake (there's a whole group on MFP dedicated to that last one :bigsmile: )0 -
Yes, I stay up late and that makes the cravings a bigger issue. However I stay up late to have my alone time from children. So I don't really want to give that up.
I've been able to fight the cravings simply by chewing gum or eating sunflower seeds (the kind with shells). Makes my hands and mouth busy without all the calories.0 -
More water or hot tea helps me sometimes at night. Be kind to yourself, each day is a new chance to choose wisely.0

Take up a hobby. Keep your hands and mind occupied and you'll be less likely to snack.0

Plan for your late night eating. Save some calories especially for that. It doesn't mean you have to skip a meal during the day. Just plan better. Popcorn is a great filler. Carrots with hummus. Apple and cheese. I'm a late snacker, so I can sympathize!0

Logg everything you eat after midnight as breakfast.0

I know exactly what you mean - have always stuggled with nighttime eating - the couch is the problem - not being as active as day time, all of that adds up to excuses though - we have to take the crap out of the house and restock it with good choices, so that even when we do snack at night, we are snacking on low cal healthy options. Easier said than done right... I know. I struggle with it all the time myself and have not found the answer yet... not fully. But what I have found is that exercising for me in the evening helps curb my appetite - counterintuitive I know, but it's true - after a workout I feel less hungry and can often get by with a protein shake and light snacks later in the evening. PLUS, I also hate eating after I worked my *kitten* off at bootcamp or gym or whatever, only to throw it out the window by eating too much or bad choices. The closer your exercise is to your eating time, the less likely you are to throw it away.0

That was always me...and I'm a night owl. If I'd go to sleep I wouldn't mess up! Sometimes I'd fall asleep and wake up in the morning and think," yeah....I made it thru the nite without binging on cereals, p&j, etc" lol!
Make sure u are eating enough thru the day. Most people eat too little then burn 600+ Doing cardio and weights... Ur body is hungry! I'm 5'3, 170 and took metabolic test at gym and should be eating 1900 min per day and more when I workout!
I'm still losing and losing body fat and inches!
I also added an iPad app for hypnosis ..helped me sleep and also helps cut cravings of bad foods, called "lose weight"! I've used for two wks and so far no cheat meals the last two weeks,eating super clean, sleeping and no late night cravings .
Definitely remove junk from the house and add good snacks. Easier said than done...and I'm single, so I can keep what I want around,lol! I made a killer trail mix this week with almonds, peanuts, organic sunflower seeds ,low sugar granola and dark chocolate covered raisins ..yum! Also keep protein bars I make around and gnc lean shakes are good too. I love oatmeal CHOC chip cookies, but found a healthier recipe online and I freeze the dough and make a few when I gotta have a sweet treat! Drink that water too during the day and fill up and flush toxins! U can do it!
Good luck, eat up during the day!

Yep. I eat my biggest meal before bed. Just plan for it in your daily calories. Check out intermittent fasting.0 -
Look for foods that will fill you up. A quick look at your diary there seems to be a lot of what I would call less filling foods.0
