Actually believe it or not, studies show that exercising during times like this help to stave off hunger.

Go for a walk. If you exercise, you can eat more.0

I usually drink water; takes the hunger feeling away.0

drinks about 32oz water, will fill you up for a bit and maybe take the urge away until you can go to bed? good luck0

Eat....something small. Maybe fruit or something. But don't go hungry, you'll only make it harder on yourself. Scrambled egg or boiled egg. Just something small. Maybe try drinking a tall glass of water to see if that helps get rid of the hunger.0

If you are hungry, eat something .... just try to make is healthy. Exactly what will depend on why diet you are following. If its primal/paleo then a tbsp of coconut oil is supposed to help take the hunger away. Or have an apple, the pectin will help fill you up. Do not sweat going over the daily total by a few calories.0

I know I'm new here, but I drink some water and go exercise for a little bit, and then if I'm still hungry, have a healthy snack. I like carrots because they take a long time to eat if you do it slow, and (relatively speaking) are not horrible for you. 85g is a reasonable amount, esp. if you chew them slowly.0

I'm no expert but I would think it would be OK to have a light snack, especially if going over your calorie limit isn't an everyday thing.0

Yep...I get on my bike and keep track of my speed, and minutes, and what that equals in calories...when I have enough "calories" ridden to consume the snack I had in mind, i hurry back home and munch.0

i took a quick look at your diary. you were almost two hundred cals under yesterday, and almost 400 cals under on monday. so you have saved up almost 600 calories.
your body works more on a week-to-week basis, rather then daily. eat something. if you are really hungry, and not just having a craving, then it's actually your body telling you it needs fuel.0 -
If I'm not mistaken, celery actually has negative calories because your body uses more energy chewing/digesting it, than are contained within the plant. So try some celery with walden farms ranch! and plenty of water0

I drink water or zero calorie beverage and jump on my treadmill or stationary bike until I feel the hunger or craving pass. Is it real hunger? Or is it just you *want* to eat out of boredom or habit?0

I like celery it pretty yummy also I checked out your diary might need to do some trimming eating too MANY carbs will makeyou hungery as well How active are you? might need to up your calories0

If it's late enough, I drink water and go to bed. Or any very low calorie (celery) or drink (tea). Good luck!0
-
exercise so I can eat more0

This. Veggies are healthy and low cal usually.0 -
I drink water or go to bed or if I'm truly hungry I eat. My body is telling me it wants it. So i need to listen0

When I'm in that situation, and I'm hungry enough that it is going to make it hard to go to sleep, I eat something. I'm not interested in making my life more difficult in the short run in exchange for long term goals... it is ALL a long term goal. I try to find something that won't blow my day, maybe under 100 calories, the brush my teeth and try to go to bed. Sometimes I drink water, and sometimes I drink a glass of a fiber supplement (I use Konsyl), which is a little bit nasty, but often fills me up long enough to fall asleep for under 10 calories.
I've read that eating an ounce or two of low fat cheese can help in this situation. I've tried it but I didn't notice it was any more useful than eating some lower calorie snacks like veggies or fruit.0
