What do you do to beat the late night cravings?

I don't have a ton. Sometimes those can be awful. But the following suggestions are my go to's
Change what you're doing.
Sugar free gum is a great thing to have on hand when you're craving something sweet.
Get up and brush your teeth.
Break out the sugar free jello & light cool whip for a somewhat guilt less snack.

Walk the dog.

Good luck, would love to see what other people are doing!

Late night has been the worst for me as far as cravings, I've been doing a shake with oatmeal and it has totally curbed late night snacking
3/4 cup oatmeal
one serving of protein powder
ice
water
teaspoon of cocoa powder
and depending on your calorie count you can add
fruit
Greek yogurt
natural peanut butter

I go to bed. Sometimes I realize I am more tired than hungry.

I typically get the munchies at this time (cough, cough), so i just eat a plum or cut up some watermelon. Both are tasty and low in calories

I drink some lemon water and it helps. I also psyche myself by looking at my reports and calories. (Another reason I love this site) It's easier for me not to accumulate calories than it is to burn them.

I save room for a snack! I just ate an apple with peanut butter (280 cal). If I don't have many calories left, beef jerky works. If I'm out of calories but still hungry, I drink a glass of water & go to bed.

Hot tea, or cucumber salad (sweetened with cinnamon, ginger, and a dash of honey), or brushing teeth. Going to bed definitely helps too lol

I have begun reading these forums and am encouraging others . . . you help yourself when you help others! : )

Hi everyone!
I tend to stick with a protein based snack. Last. Night I had 3 crackers and very thin slices of low fat cheese. But I had this snack as I'd accumulated extra calorie allowance from my 1.5hr gym training session.

If I hadn't trained it would have been anything sugar free - like a glass of sugar free squash made with sparkling water!

So try to plan ahead especially if you know you get the cravings at particular times of the month. Build in some more time to exercise so that you don't feel so guilty!

All the best!

Big glass of water and go to bed, if Im lying there unable to sleep I get up and have another large drink and a boiled egg (70 calories and protein to curb hunger) as I dont particularly like an egg at bedtime its enough to keep me in bed most nights . Sometimes if Im feeling very hungry and do not want egg I have a cup of hot chocolate and then bed, The solution for me is go to sleep, I cant eat anything if Im asleep

I know this is easier said than done BUT: change your sleep habits. Go to be early. Then there's no time for those cravings. Your cravings won't be there when you wake up and then it's a new day; a clean slate and all your calories back.

I do the same as most people- sleep it off. I know that I am moreless bored and not hungry. If I have hit my calorie goal for the day(without deficit), there is no reason why I should be hungry. I always get hungry when I am bored! Also, like someone else said, brushing my teeth has always helped me. I always do it when I am done eating for the day(even if it is at 6:30). I finish eating early because I like to go to bed early and wake up early.... Most of my cravings come early in the morning since I am an early bird...

Add me

I go on instagram and follow people who have motivating pics or quotes. I also add my own motivation pics and quotes, so it keeps me busy looking for them and i soon forget about food or realise if i really want to lose this weight i need to be good

I suck it up when it happens. I have never been a night eater and I don't want to start being one now. If it's important to you, you could allocate some of your calories to night snacking.
