    I do workout out regulary 3-4 times a week on average (about 1 hr) on top of walking to and from work 3 days a week. I'm not overweight by any means but wouldn't mind losing a couple pounds, which I find difficult. I'm 180cm tall and weigh 65kg. It would be great if you could give me any advice. You can look at my food diary http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/VR82.

    I may rethink fruit in the evening now but I always thought it was a healthy snack.

    At your height and weight, you are almost at your minimum healthy weight. If some of that is muscle from working out, you are probably on the skinny side. Why not shift to a weight maintenance goal and allow youself a few more calories?

    It's normal. There's just something about the 11:00 pm- 1:00 am time block that can throw your whole goal out the window. I've been told that being tired is the biggest culprit. You probably go to sleep an hour or two after your late night snack.

    I used to go so far as to taking an antihistamine to make myself go to sleep before the munchie hours, but I love staying up later. For the most part, I will save 200 or so calories for this time of night and also make myself non-caffeinated teas with artificial sweeteners to quell the hunger.

    I am at an ideal weight, but do not want to gain any weight, I do light weights and I'm trying to focus on toning but I do want to get the maximum calorie burn from my workouts. I guess I just feel that a few extra pounds would make me happy.

    In regards to you comment about increasing my calories, I tend to save them for the weekend when I tend to have a few drinks. Yes I am one of those binge drinkers, ha.

    Make sure you re eating enough protein for dinner. I'm always hungry if I don't.

    There are many days where I've gone over the suggested protein intake and still have been hungry.

    It appears you're not eating breakfast nor spreading your food out through the day.

    Maybe if you eat a good breakfast and follow it up with a snack a couple hours later and then spread your food throughout the rest of the day while saving 100 calories or so for an evening snack you wouldn't be so hungry in the evenings.

    Just a suggestion.
