And what do you do about them? Oddly enough, mine seem to hit right after I eat. I'm sometimes white-knuckling it for an hour or more right after I finish eating!

    After I lift weights I get REALLY hungry, like ravenous. I can usually hold myself to eating something healthy. But every once in awhile...

    Usually after 10 p.m. When I get them then I try to eat & drink something with a lot of calories because my food diary says I eat to few calories.

    Are you doing a bunch of little meals throughout the day? I did used to have that happen before I switched to fewer, bigger meals.

    Now it's when I'm premenstrual and when I've made poor nutritional choices -not enough carbs or not enough protein cause cravings for me. I don't really get them at all otherwise. I got them a lot at the beginning when my calories were initially set too low.

    Typically between the hours of midnight and midnight 24 hours later.

    Very late night. Or shall I say early morning. I wake up from my sleep craving for chocolate. :/ I need to learn how to control that.

    1. When I'm bored.
    2. When it gets dark (im a vampire thirsty for chocolate and junk)

    But im controlling it by drinking low calorie hot chocolate,coffee and tea :P:P
