    You may need to increase your calorie goal. If you have MFP set to lose 2 pounds a week and you don't have all that much to lose, you should change it to .5 or 1 pound a week. That'll give you lots more to eat, and you'll still lose weight-- just a bit more slowly.

    I always leave room in my calorie budget for a small handful of almonds before bed. In the past, I'd always snack on sweets/carbs before bed and I'd never feel satisfied and go way overboard. I like almonds but don't LOVE them, so my hunger is curbed after a few and I feel really satisfied from the protein, fat, and fiber. It's the only time of day I eat almonds, and now I always look forward to them as my little treat before bed.
    This has worked really well for me, but of course your mileage may vary. Find a healthy food that is hard for you to overeat. Make it your bedtime treat, and stick to a reasonable portion size! Nighttime eating is not a bad thing so long as you plan for it in advance :)
