Nighttime Snackers?

nmh29

I am a huge nighttime eater. It seems as if I can't even fall asleep without eating a little something before bed. I can go all day with healthy eating habits, but it seems like all bets are off at night and I go crazy. Any advice?

Plan those snacks into your calories and make heathier choices

I do the same thing. I am horrible with the choices that I make at that time too. I am slowly improving. My latest nighttime favorite is to eat a banana with peanut butter (PB2 actually). Low calorie and nutritious.

check out the air popped popcorn link

Maybe if you had some healthy snacks all planned out you'd know what you were getting into calorie wise and have some options...

I have my days where my night time eating gets out of hand and if I have some healthy choices about (string cheese, popcorn, pretzles, and other stuff like that) I can keep the calories in check while munching out.

I have the same problem. When I feel like eating late at night I do a 20 min workout(workout DVD). A short workout seems to stabilize my snack cravings before bedtime.

I'm a big fan of broccoli. I buy huge bags of fresh, pre-cut, pre-washed broc from Costco, and eat it with a spoonful of chip dip. Very low-cal, and even more satisfying than sitting with a bag of chips

Also, tea is my best friend. A cup of yummy smelling herbal tea chases most of my cravings away.

Orvillle Rendenbaucher's Smart Pop keeps me sane.

After dinner, if I feel like eating something else later, I go and brush my teeth instead and use extra toothpaste. I hate the taste of food after toothpaste, so this turns me off wanting anything else.
