    Snack on a few veggies if you have some. That's what I try to do when I get hungry at night, which is often. I eat dinner around 7 then my last "snack" around 8ish, and I'm up until midnight or just after usually so I get hungry in those 4 hours.

    Apples are pretty filling. You can also try eating half of an apple.

    I avoid fruit because the sugar messes with my sleeping, but I do lean protein. Turkey or chicken and I make a point to avoid carbs. I also try to go to sleep before I get too hungry, LOL

    Go to bed. You are probably tired.

    I say if you just ate a protein bar and drank a glass of water....your not hungry. It's habit! :flowerforyou: Distract yourself.....go take a hot bath.....or go to bed!! lol

    Celery...you actually burn more calories chewing it than what you consume :) That or go to bed early and try to ignore the rumbling tummy, I'm doing that tonight in fact!

    I agree with many...Go to BED!!! Part of this is habit if you are up late you will eat more. have a 1/2 piece of fruit, glass of water and or some veggies. I find that when I get this craving I will reach for some frozen blueberries: sweet, cold, crunchy, and fulfilling.
