Late Night Snack? HELP!

Eat some fruit or munch on some crackers/veggies. Those are usually forgivable. Just make sure to brush.

I always eat late at night, and not just vegies... hasn't slowed my weight loss one bit.

You really shouldn't have carbs at night. I would suggest some protein.

I'm thinking the 600 calories under would hurt more than a late night snack...

NEVER eat fruit (fructose = sugar) or crackers (starchy carbs) before bed. Avoid carbs before bed all together. Feel free to have a source of protein (deli meat) or even better, a slow digesting protein (cottage cheese or low fat milk). Healthy fats such as almonds and natural peanut butter is fine too.

What did you eat during the day? Sounds like it wasn't substantial enough if you were 600 under and hungry at 11pm. Better to use those calories up early with something that will last you through the evening. Don't want to sound like I'm lecturing, just my two cents. I know it's tempting to skimp if you are not hungry at the time, but part of weight management is planning ahead. I don't always eat three meals a day, but I do try to eat things that will sustain me. If I did find myself in that position, I would likely drink my Metabolic weightloss shake with some sugarfee vanilla almond milk. Or some of the other suggestions posted are very good, too.

eat some veggies..celery and laughing cow cheese or cucumber or zucchini and hummus(my fav)??...I'm not super fond of milk..but that seems to curb my cravings too...

Why are people so petrified of carbs/fruit before bed!? my trainer (professional bodybuilder) has me having a protein shake and 1 cup of strawberries as my bed time snack. I'm supposed to sleep within an hour of eating this. I dono... when I follow this I drop weight like to tomorrow... people should really broaden there perspective.. if your hungry eat.. as long as you stay with in your calorie limit for the day it will not matter if you're eating carbs or protein. your still deficit.

I snack at night but as a rule of thumb, I avoid snacking on carbs. Here's my list of snack items on standby:
boiled eggs
can of tuna
nonfat plain yogurt
nuts (almond, peanut, pistachio)
smoked salmon with capers
glass of soymilk
edamame

Hmmm, yogurt sounds good right about ... now.

Yogurt has carbs.. and they are sugar carbs.. just an fyi

Yes but interesting thing about yogurt that Mediterranean diets have known for years... just an fyi.

That couldn't be further from the truth.... that's like saying you can live off of McDonalds and as long as you're within your caloric intake you'll be fit. If you don't eat protein, you don't build muscle. If men don't eat fat, their hormones (especially testosterone) are out of wack. Eat too much starchy carbs, and you look soft and pudgy, which explains why the keto diet is so effective at burning fat.

And dropping weight isn't the same as being fit. Your average joe probably weighs less than the typical bodybuilder, but that doesn't translate to better health. Plus, you weight fluctuates on a daily basis due to factors such as weight weight, sodium intake, etc. The scale is a very ineffective way of judging health.

She may be eating late at night, but it may not be right before bed. Also, eating carbs at night may be okay for her goals. Eating veggies and fruit have relatively low carb numbers (she's not indulging in a danish or anything), and honestly I would go for them before dealing with the added cholesterol, fat, sodium and calories of meats, eggs, yogurt, etc. As for crackers, I'm not sure if you've been in the market recently but there are plenty of low carb/starch/sodium varieties of cracker snacks that boast higher fiber and high iron as advantages. Protein does a girl little good if she has iron that's too low, and processed deli meats, etc actually have relatively low iron and complete protein contents.
