    Air popped popcorn. It'll fill you up and has few calories.

    If you have calories, eat something filling. If not.. Well, don't eat.

    Go brush your teeth. Go to bed early if you have to.

    Remember, food can't control you. You control your food.

    Eat.

    If you go over 200 cals then be 100 less over the next couple days.

    Find something to distract yourself that will require you to use your hands and focus. If that doesn't work drink water, chew gum, or just eat something that isn't high in calories. If it is true hunger eat something small so you don't feel deprived. Good luck....

    Mostly this. If you're really, truly and legitimately hungry, eat something that won't put you over maintenance. (Strawberries are a favorite low-cal choice over here.)

    But if you're more bored than hungry, go to bed. I like to "treat" myself to a cozy blanket and a really good book. A different kind of indulgence — but one that doesn't make me feel bad the next day.

    I find that 1/2 cup of plain no-fat Greek Yogurt with 1 packet of stevia sweetener and 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen fruit such as raspberries, blackberries or strawberries really fills me up when I am hungry shortly before going to bed. The Greek yogurt. has lots of protein and it really holds hunger at bay until morning. The whole thing is less than 100 calories.

    I don't know where your calories are set, so the first thing to do is make sure you've eaten enough for the day and haven't set your calorie goal too low.

    Otherwise, either have a light snack and go a bit over your calories for the day or look for something to keep yourself busy for the rest of the night.

    Personally, I like to go for a cup or two of decaf tea for those hungry evenings.

    yup.
    I don't sweat it.
    I went over 500 cal today.
    Meh. I'll shave a little more than usual off the next few days.

    Um, eat?

    No need to torture yourself and you won't turn into a gremlin or gain all your weight back.

    i always conserve 100ish calories for those late cravings... I typically opt for a delicious tablespoon of peanut butter which fills me right up... or air popped popcorn with a variety of toppings... which also fills me up for minimal calories, but maximum yumminess.

    A big salad: 1-2 cups of shredded lettuce, then add some veggies of your choice: chopped tomato, chopped cucumber, shredded carrot, chopped red pepper, roasted red pepper, radishes, peas, etc.... Add fat free salad dressing.

    I plan for a nightly snack every day. Usually a skinny cow ice cream bar and 16 oz of crystal light. I am not a sweets person but this kills my appetite. If I am out of the bars I eat 17 semi sweet chunks or 4 tbsp of pb2. Sure I pee all night long from the crystal lite but I am a light sleeper anyway. I used to just graze the pantry and fridge back when I was obese. Now I have the plan in place. I actually never touch the bars unless I am headed to bed. Then I actually eat the bar in bed. I never return to the kitchen. I just keep grabbing the crystal lite. Then I roll over and go to sleep.

    You could always have a roll with cool whip on it. I hear it's pretty much the same thing as a cupcake.

    When I get hungry at night, I eat carrots, celery, an APPLE :), or a Greek yogurt (a combination of two or three usually fills me up). It helps me stay away from unhealthy food choices at night.
