Night Hunger

Ophelia2013

does anyone have any suggestions what I can do about getting really hungry before bed at night?
What do you guys do for night cravings and hunger?

How much time do you have between your last meal and the time you sleep? My last meal is 3 hours before I sleep so it keeps me content till im passed out .

What you eat for dinner is really important too, filling food like chicken/salmon and sauteed dark leafy greens keeps me full for a while.

An apple for a "dessert" snack will help (lots of fiber), or 1/2 a cup of greek yogurt with honey.

Warm cup of tea might trick your brain into thinking its full too?

Also try to lose weight slowly.. you want a lifestyle change and something you can keep up. Maybe you're eating too little and that's why you're hungry? I tried to eat super low cal before, eating 100 cals bags of crackers, etc and could never maintain it. Non process, wholesome fruit and veggie-centric foods + exercise is the way to go Good luck!!

If I stay up too late, sometimes I get hungry before going to bed. If it is just a little hungry and I am really tired, it doesn't keep me up at night so I don't eat anything. In that case, a drink of water or a cup of hot chamomile tea (calming and no caffeine) might be sufficient. But if I am really hungry, a tablespoon of peanut butter kills the hunger long enough for me to go to sleep. A tablespoon of peanut butter on celery sticks will also do the trick. This may put you over your calorie goal a little but that is better than hunger keeping you awake at night. The loss of sleep due to hunger keeping you awake is way more damaging than a few extra calories. If this happens to me more than once a week, I take a look at the number of carbs that I am eating for dinner. Too many carbs will cause you to be hungry sooner than the same number of calories consumed as protein and fat.
