I typically don't eat after 8pm and it's not usually an issue. But at this very moment... I'm feeling a bit hungry.
What do you do when this happens?

I would eat an apple.0

If I feel I must eat this late then I will have some fruit and a cheese stick or veggies. Something light but filling enough so I don't go to bed with a grumpy stomach.0

i would drink water and go to bed. But if this doesnt help...a little fruit wont hurt.0

Eat.
Okay, more helpfully... check out http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Robin_Bin/view/snacks-of-100-calories-or-less-267198
Jeffdoc's started a list of snacks for under 100 calories. With his kind permission, I've created this blog entry that has the original 88 snack ideas with the additional ones suggested by others here. Over 115 now.
Hope it helps! (Please give it a positive vote, if it's useful to you and feel free to add any suggestions.)0 -
Hello,
I just joined today and will start logging tomorrow. One suggestion is to drink water 1st and if you are still having hunger pangs, then a fruit is the best choice. When is this late I go and brush my teeth because that signals me to close chops for the night.:drinker:0 -
FF Cottage cheese is a great bed time snack, sugar free jello too!
Though fruit is healthy, I would advise against carbs, especially sugar. Messes with your insulin levels and will effect your body's ability to burn fat as efficiently. But if that apple just sounds irresistible, then eat your apple. lol0 -
Usually go to bed since I always have a craving just around 11 pm.0

I make myself wait a set amount of time and then if I'm still craving I give in. Usually it goes away.
But not today! Tonight I realllly wanted french fries. I waited two hours, and now at 12:11am I am noshing on the 1 cup of baked fries I made myself.0 -
I just have a small snack. Some cereal or fruit. Drink some water too to be sure you're not just dehydrated.0

Thanks for all the tips. I have been drinking lots of water, so I don't think that's what the problem is.
I went into the kitchen in search of something good, when I came across the bag of hulled sunflower seeds... I felt like scarfing back handfuls of those, but I grabbed 8 baby carrots instead.0 -
I eat.0

I figured out why I'm hungry. I forgot to have the smoothie I logged in my diary for before the gym. grr0

I drink water. Or have some hot tea.0

Have you eaten all of your calories already? If not, eat! It doesn't matter what time you eat.0

Peanut butter + spoon = happiness0

I've always been of the mind that it's bad to eat late. Even my trainer said don't eat after 8 because it will go straight to my *kitten*.0 -
Eat something. As long as it doesn't make it hard to sleep eat whatever you want if it's within your calorie goal. Even if it's above sometimes. Being hungry is a sign that your body is...dare I say it...hungry.
Or try drinking a glass or two of water. Sometimes when you think you are hungry you might just be thirsty.

The risk of logging before eating is that you'll forget to eat what you logged. The risk of eating before logging is that you'll forget to log it. :happy:
Eat something... you're hungry and under your target. If it makes you feel better, eat something light. At night, I like dairy-protein. You could have the classic, warm milk. I like cheese for late cravings.
Even if it is worse to eat late (which I'm not sure about, and there's mixed research), the calories aren't smart enough to target your hips.0
