    If you have calories left over, it may be that you're not eating enough during the day, so you may be overcompensating at night. Maybe add a couple more healthy snacks during the day.

    If it's boredom/emotional eating, try adding an evening activity. I know I eat when I'm just sitting around the house just because I need something TO DO. So what do I do? I head to the fridge. So, find something ELSE to do beside head to the fridge. Take a walk around the block. Do the crossword or sudoku. Join a book club or find some girls for Bunco night (of course, book clubs & Bunco are usually just code names for wine & snacks, so be careful!). But even so, I find I'm LESS likely to eat if I'm around a bunch of people, especially if they know how hard I'm trying to cut back.

    Point is, if you're doing something active, you'll probably be less likely to head for the fridge out of boredom's sake. Bonus if your activity helps you burn more calories!

    bump.

    This is my problem too- thanks for the tips.

    If I save enough calories for a Kashi bar right before bed that really helps me and I feel satisfied and not deprived of my beloved carbs and sweets.

    My husband also suggests putting teeth whiteners in. I like the kashi bar idea better, but hes thin with white teeth to boot! LOL.

    good luck!
