Ok tell me how you have beat this habit and don't tell me to knit or take up some other crafty thing. My days usually end around 8 at night and then I find my stomach start to growl and that's it my brain starts thinking about what I can eat.
I have taken all tempting food out of my house but still I find something to munch on.
Please tell me what has worked for you? This is where I am struggling the most everything else I feel really good about but eating at night is destroying my weight lose and this is just a new habit I've picked up in the last year!

thank you

    I don't know if this will help you or not, but I do eat later at night and have been successful with that. I don't eat big meals and stay within my calorie goal and always save some calories for a dessert or treat of some kind in the evening.

    Ugh. I have this problem too. What seems to work for me is to eat low-cal filling foods. I will eat leftovers veggies from dinner or at worst split a micoeave bag of popcorn with my wife. Also if I brush my teeth and do all my nighttime prep shortly after dinner I will usually bypass eating so I don't have to brush my teeth again. Make laziness work for you :)

    Save calories for nighttime by eating less calories during the day. Then, eat at night.


    Stay in a calorie deficit and you will win.

    I save myself some calories for night too. It saves my sanity when I know I've got enough for some fruit/toast/yoghurt/whatever I fancy.

    If I'm really hungry and have few calories left I will have a 100 calorie bag of microwave popcorn (kettle corn flavored). Takes a while to eat, and satisfies both my craving for crunchy and sweet.

    I am the same way so I allow for 3cups air popped popcorn at night it is only 60 cal with butter and I use little to no salt the butter is even unsalted. This is what helps me but I say if you have the calories to eat then eat

    I believe I quote you earlier sidesteal lol

    but This!!!

    I go to bed every night with a glass of 1% Chocolate milk, 30 Almonds and 3/4 cup of Crave Double Chocolate cereal (which I eat dry with my Almonds). It comes out to be 550 calories and I fit it into my daily calorie deficit so its all good...

    I prefer to do most of my eating at night. I typically eat 600-700 calories between 5 am and 6:30 pm. I then proceed to eat 2000 calories (give or take) between 6:30 pm and 10 pm. I am often chewing my last bite of food on my way to bed! I prefer going to bed full.

    Eat whenever you want!

    If you're always hungry before bed, eat something! Peanut butter toast should do the trick. Or just peanut butter :D
