I do (on a good day) but this is because I am used to eating at night. After dinner.

After nearly a year of dieting I am guessing this is always going to be the case... I still get hungry after dinner...

    Nope never, If you are going to bed hungry all the time you need to look at some of your food choices

    No I do not go to bed hungry. I also do not eat after dinner. I just make sure to have a nice, filling dinner. Dinner is my biggest meal of the day.

    I am always going to bed hungry, even with a good (big) dinner. if i snack after 7pm my scale goes up, if i go with out snacking at night my scale goes down. Im so tired of it! im always hungry even with a healthy "balanced" diet and exercise.

    I usually save a couple hundred calories for after dinner, so I can have a snack. The crummy thing is that snack usually gets eaten too soon, I stay up to late, and want another snack. I usually don't eat right before bed and stay under my calories. Last night I was actually hungry and had a bowl of frosted mini wheats with skim milk. I went over, but not by a ton, and didn't feel guilty because my body was saying it needed food.

    That is my weakest time of day.
    I used to put everybody to bed, then creep down and eat supper all over again. I love that feeling of having eaten so much you just hurt. That's the best :drinker:

    Well, no wonder I was so fat.
    I've had to change everything, but I still need to eat before bed, or I'll wake up and binge like a government mule.
    My diary is open, so you can see for yourself, but I eat a snack before bed every night.
    I am not saying this is optimal, but it's my very best. Lost 76 lbs so far, so fear not.
    Just do your very best.
    All you can do is all you can do.

    No. I eat if I'm hungry, regardless of when it is. I just try and make sure it's something healthier like fruit, with protein or lower in cals. If I go to bed hungry, I'm STARVING before morning and I know my body doesn't like to be starving or my metabolism nose-dives. I know everyone is different but being hungry doesn't work for me!

    depends on the kind of hunger. sometimes I am hungry because I get little sleep and have been up 15+hours, smh. so I start eating at like 6 in the morning, but I'm up till almost midnight and have eaten all my calories for the day.

    under normal circumstances, if I eat around 7ish or 8, i'm fine if i go to sleep at like 10.

    my opinion, it's okay to go to bed hungry, but it's also okay to eat right before bed as well. your body is still working while your sleep (we breathe don't we) haha, so you're food will not magically turn to fat

    Almost always. I'm usually in bed by midnight, dinner around 5:30, I usually have some calories left over after dinner for a snack, which I try to have about 8 pm. But yes, always hungry when I go to bed.

    Nope. If I go to bed hungry, I get up nauseous in the morning. Not worth it, so I make sure I am full when I lay down at night.
