night time snacking

I try and make sure I have calories leftover at the end of the day because I like to snack in the evenings. Try and plan your meals a little better to give yourself wiggle room at night.

I usually eat veggie straws (you get 38 of those for 130 calories) or Special K cracker chips (27 for 110 calories), baby carrots and light ranch, etc

My late night snack is 1/2 cup frozen berries, 100 ml low fat yoghurt and some Low Cal Jello.....

My favorites are the Nabisco 100 calorie snack packs (Lorna Doone's or Fudge Stripes), or if the kids have eaten all those, I might munch on grapes or pretzels.

I try to be good all day so I can have my popcorn at night. I love pop secret homestyle... The whole bag is 140 cals. It actually motivates me throughout the day!

Every night I slice up a whole grapefruit. This is my evening treat. The sweet and the tart are a perfect night time treat. Then I have ome water, or water with an emergen c packet in it for a little taste of sweetness, and then kitchen is closed.

I agree to trying to save some calories for the evening. Or plan the day like you are going to have a snack. I like to track mine the day before. This will help you know what you can (or can't) go for.

My "go to" snack is popcorn. Air popped is the lowest on calories. But if you are going "low carb" maybe get some carrots or mini cukes or something. Good luck!

Popcorn (air popped with a low cal, small amount of butter), or a 100calorie popcorn bag. Carrots is a major part of my munching but usually by after dinner I've already had carrots so like variety. Celery w/ peanut butter. Decaf tea really helps w/appetite but im not a big tea person (caffenated dehydrates ur system so only decaf tea), werthers original sugar free if I have a sweet tooth but not many calories left. Half an apple, and can add peanut butter if I have extra cals I need to use. 2cups spinach 1tbls feta 1tbsp almond sliced almonds, seasoned with garlic, pepper, etc...lots of options, but the popcorn is my #1 choice

Plain raw vegies like carrots are great evening snacks - few calories, crunchie and you have to chew them (as opposed to inhaling a stack of Pringles in one bite). I think crackers, even low cal types, are killers, because if you don't have enough will power not to snack in the evening, you probably don't have enough will power to stop at a "serving" of crackers. I also like Blue Bunny lite fudgesicles. You can eat 2 for 70 calories. I try not to eat anything after 8 p.m. When I'm tempted to munch after that, I try a cup of hot tea with a little light vanilla soy milk added. You might try changing up your evening routine a bit, too. The "munchies" are more habit than hunger. Instead of just sitting idle in front of the TV, find something to do with your hands (i.e., hand sewing, needlework, playing cards, working a crossword puzzle). Best of luck!
