So my absolute weakness is eating in the evening. I go crazy if I don't have some sort of snack as I usually work late into the night and need some food encouragement. I usually drink herbal tea with honey as that is very low calories, but like to drink it with something that isn't too bad for you, many times failing in that attempt. Any suggestions?

My after dinner treat is usually fat free greek yoghurt with frozen blueberries and I sometimes crush a low calorie biscuit over the top which gives it a little crunch.... Extra protein for the day and for me a yummy dessert!0

I had 1/2 cup of All Bran Flakes, 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/3 of a small banana....0

toasted whole wheat pita or veggies with hummus0

I usually eat 1 or 2 skinny cow ice cream sandwiches right before bed. If you know you're going to snack then anyway, save some calories for it.0

^ That's what I'd do. Just eat fewer calories during the day so you can eat more calories at night.0 -
I just got PopSecret 100 calorie bags of popcorn and they are awesome. It's a lot of popcorn and a perfect late night snack while watching TV. Also love skinny cow desserts or a cup of sugar free hot chocolate.0

This is what I do as well. I know that I like to eat more at night and to have a big dinner so I usually only eat about half my calories during the day and save the rest for after I get off work. That way I can eat 500 cals for dinner and 200 after in snacks (I like 100 cal bags of things like popcorn, cookies or Weight Watchers ice cream) and it isn't a problem.0 -
Oatmeal is always good. I can't sleep without eating some sort of carbs within in hour of going to sleep. Sometimes I'll have an apple but oatmeal is more filling.0

I like a protein shake w/ peanut butter.0

Anything that fits in your cals/macros is good. If you struggle at night, why not save some cals so you have them when snack time comes?0

My weakness is also late night snacking. If it wasn't for late night snacking, I would be doing so much better. Bump!0

I save calories or workout to earn some for low fat frozen yogurt.0

peanut butter, almond butter, etc.
Fiber will help you a lot, most of the stuff that is "fat free" tends to be chock full of carbs and other stuff that probably we shouldn't eat.0 -

Orville Redenbacher Smart Pop is my go to evening snack. The whole bag (6-8 cups) is only 120 calories, only 2g of fat, and low in sodium. What else can you eat 6 cups of for only 120 cals?0

I like eating peanut butter before bed. It's one of the highest calorie things I eat all day, but I just like to go to bed feeling satiated.0

I guess I'm going to be the spoiler here! I would say up your cals during the day to avoid the late night binge. Depending upon your activity level, 1200 cals is not enough during the day. Having to snack at night either results from habit, or still too hungry from lack of calories throughout the day. I usually try for a piect of fruit with peanut butter, or greek yogurt. Neighborhood of 1 - 200 cals. Or if I workout in the evening, a protein shake.0
