I like one cup of cold cereal. No milk, eat it like chips.0

Thanks everyone! The sex comment had me laughing! I guess it's just that I seem to gain any kind of weight eating late at night since it doesn't digest fast enough before going to bed. Best snack I found was Trader Joes seaweed. They taste like sushi and who ever knows me..knows i love seaweed. It's low in calories and that so good!0

Make your own ice cream earlier in the day!
I use one frozen banana, 1/4 cup of chopped strawberries (any fruit would work) and 2tbsp of unsweetened coconut milk (any milk would work here too!)
Blend it all up in a blender or food processor and either eat it right away or freeze it to snack on later in the evening!
Only 128 calories!0 -
I go with sugarless gum and water before I reach for food. If that doesn't work backup keep celery and baby carrots at the ready at all times.0

Intermittent fasting has fixed this struggle for me. I eat my last meal by 10 pm and don't eat until 12:30 or 1 next day. Coffee or tea fine in morning0

When I was in a deficit I had a good 300 calories saved for after dinner on most nights. No way I'm done eating with dinner.0

So far, which isn't very long, I've eaten berries or veggies when I get cravings late nights.0

I highly recommend a juice detox to help curve junk food cravings. I do a lot of cardio and strength training so I don't do all day or week long juice cleanses. I eat a big healthy breakfast packed with protein and then juice the rest of the day. Around 3-4pm I eat some pretzels and call it a day. The detox helps rid your body of toxins and fat so I don't crave salty and sweets like I used too.0

I usually eat dinner at 9pm or even 10. What I do to is quite filling. I buy wraps and fill them with a bunch of salads, mostly greens leaf, spring onions, mushrooms,bell peppers, tomatoes things like that.... That way you eat something nutritious, delicious and there's less fuzz about what to prepare. Sometimes being hungry at night is actually being hungry(not just cravings), try to experiment with a later dinner... maybe your body needs a little extra at night....0

lol...Sex makes me hungry. So it would be the opposite for me.

Your body doesn't need a detox for that.0 -

I love this idea! What consistency is it when frozen? Like an icecream or more solid?

I was diagnosed with a bad form of acid reflux. The Dr told me do not go to bed or lay down at least 2 to 3 hours after you eat. So I don't eat past 7pm. I do make sure my dinner is fulling. I save my calories for then.
As long as your in your calories you should be fine.0 -
I struggle with hunger at night, too. I use what was mentioned above... I eat dinner about 7PM. Now I'm trying to get to sleep earlier... I currently suffer from severe insomnia but I'm working on it and have found my hunger is subsiding slightly with more sleep.0

Great ideas. Several go-to things I keep on hand when I'm having a manic snack attack is V8, baby carrots, a cup of lo cal/lo sodium soup, WASA multi grain crispbread, salad of greens with a splash of diet dressing.0

Eat a protein bar they are very filling and stay with you through the night.
There are chocolate ones which will also curb your cravings for junk food.
Protein bars are my new comfort food0 -
I had this problem until I discovered protein shakes I make into a big yummy smoothie. 25 grams of protein should help you out.0

I don't eat anything after dinner and that's always around 5:30-6 at the latest! Drink water! It will help u feel fuller. U shouldn't eat anything at least 4 hours before you go to bed.0
