I think one of my biggest problems is eating at night. I will always get hungry because i'm a night owl and am up until around 12-1. But my problem is what I eat. I'll eat whatever is closest and easiest and that's normally candy,chips, and chocolate. Anyone have any tips on how I can beat these midnight munchies
There's nothing wrong with eating at night as long as you are meeting your calorie goal.
If you overeat things like chips, candy, and chocolate.............
STOP BRINGING THEM INTO THE HOUSE!!!
Then they won't be closest and easiest to you.
But if you don't overeat and end up eating under your TDEE, get over it. You're doing good. All things in moderation.0 -
Eat anything that you want but limit yourself to what you eat because if you deprive yourself, then you will end up just eating a bigger amount of what you originally would have. For me, I just need a bite of whatever I would be craving. Just the taste of it is enough to satisfy me.:)0

Ketchup! I cannot moderate my ketchup usage...I just have to stay away. I used to douse all of my food in it. Mmm, so good. Such a waste of calories that I'd rather use on more food.0

The more conscious of budgeting my calories I have become, the more particular I've gotten about what I eat. For instance, I eat 1-2 eggs and a piece of toast for breakfast almost every morning. White, low cal, "wheat," whatever kind of bread was ok months ago. Now that it's the only piece of bread I eat all day and often it's the only refined carb I eat all day, I want 100% whole grain, dense, heavy, actually-something-to-chew-on bread for my toast. The "whatever" won't do, because I'm not mindlessly eating anymore.
I also drink better beer and only use real butter.
The only food I've decided to swear off is donuts. I ate one the other day and thought it was going to murder me. It sat in my stomach like a rock and I belched it for HOURS, on top of feeling totally ill from all the sugar and crappy fat. It's so sad. We have a locally owned donut place here, and I loved getting one every now and then.0 -
Eat healthy foods. Stay away from processed anything as much as you can. Salt is bad, hydrogenated oil is bad. Having said those nice things also be reasonable. A nice piece of chocolate cake or your junk food of choice is perfectly fine just not every day. I have chocolate milk every morning and pig out one meal a week on any food I want.
Smaller meals more times a day is also better IMO. That way your body burns the calories instead of having extra to convert to fat.0 -
If I restrict myself to certain foods, I will fail in the long run. Instead, I eat what I like in smaller portions.0

Moderation is the key to success here. If you limit and deny yourself, well, bad things happen.

If you eat anything that's closest to you... Well, put some carrots and green tea close to you!
Seriously, I can just sit there and munch on carrots all day. Similar for raw broccoli (although broccoli generally demands some sort of dip).0 -

Hey guys
Just wondering since I'm on a diet now, what foods should I avoid and which food should I not eat as much of?
If you have great willpower then you can enjoy any food in moderation.
If you don't have good willpower then I would try to stay away from certain foods that could be a trigger food.
You could also take a favorite food that might be considered unhealthy & look up ways to make it healthier or other foods that taste similar to it.
Personally I try to stay away from a lot of bread, pastas (I eat spaghetti squash a few times a week), & cake/pie.0 -

This is a big one for me, too. Everyone's finally gone to bed and I finally have some uninterrupted quiet time for me...and I want to enjoy it with food. I've done okay (knock wood) by reserving some calories for the end of the day and making the snacks something like Laughing Cow Light with pretzels or crackers (counted out in the kitchen), maybe add cherry tomatoes or cucumbers...etc. Usually, a pretty little plate of something I really like is more satisfying than too much of something mindlessly eaten.0 -
This is what I sometime try to do I will sometime cut up apples and munch on those but other times that just isn't what I want or I'm too lazy to go up to the kitchen ( my bedrooms in the basement )0

YOLO!!!!! enjoy food and enjoy life. try to only have what you need and move on. Birthdays, family functions, celebrations and friends will always be in the picture and you cannot run from any of these things or you will be miserable. Just learn to enjoy the things around you including your company and ask yourself , will I feel proud of myself when im finished with this? and take it from there. Fit food into your life, not the other way around. Hope this makes since to you.0

Eggs, fish, peas, and cottage cheese.0

I have cut very few things out completely. However, I do not eat french fries, fast food in general, or sugar soda at all. They have no nutritional value, and I don't really want those things, so what's the point.
I might have a diet coke once a week.0 -
Oh, and I have cut tomatoes out of my diet since I was born. I hate tomatoes. Yuck!!!0
