    Leave 50 calories and have a Go Ahead Biscuit just as you climb into bed - that's what I did when I started out. Other late night go-to snacks for me are PB2 (on a slice of milk roll bread), or a few nuts! xx

    I also struggle with late night munchies, but what has helped for me is, going for homemade low calorie soups when I feel the urge to have a late night meal--soup can be very satisfying!
    I also recommend eating plenty of fiber during the day, and not skipping out on protein.
    also, drink water regularly, because hunger and thirst is often mistaken for one another.
    hope this helps! :)

    I had gotten into the habit of eating late at night, and it is hard to break. I'm doing a lot better now though. Everyone had good suggestions...protein/fiber will hold you longer, and water helps a lot. Apples keep blood sugar even, so it doesn't 'crash' ....I often eat an apple with a cheese stick, and maybe 10 almonds. Sometimes I just want something warm, so I'll have green tea with a teaspoon of RAW honey. The touch of sweetness is satisfying, and the hot tea helps too. And yes, be sure you actually are hungry...not just a habit, or boredom, or procrastination, or thirsty. So first drink a glass of water, and see if you still need something.
    And as I said, I've gotten much better about not craving something late at night....it can be done! Don't give up.

    And, if you really must have something sweet, I've found that almonds dipped in dark chocolate will satisfy me, and it doesn't take very many. Even my dr agreed that is a healthy snack, if you don't overdo it. But for me, about 5 or 6 is enough.

    I'm in love with dark chocolate covered hazelnuts! Hard to find and $$ though.

    Very Satisfying. I heard about this on the dr oz show. It has been a staple for me a couple of years now. I use all flax no almond flower. My favorite is with pumpkin pie spice. I also do one with chopped fresh spinach and feta. You can put it in a bowl instead of cup to make a hamburger bun. So many options. Garlic and cheese. cinnamon and sweetener. cream cheese and berries.
