Eating at night

It may help if you open your diary so we can see what you are eating and how much. Your food intake during the day may be contributinig to your evening hunger.

I have plain greek yogurt mixed with a tbls of peanut butter. It stops the craving for me. Good luck!

What is your calorie goal set to? That doesn't sound like much food.

Are you working out? If so, you will be credited with extra calories as your exercise requires fuel. Don't be afraid of eating these back.

Make sure you are hitting your protein and fat targets and getting sufficient fibre. These food types are most satiating.

Also, there is no harm in saving some calories for food at the end of the day as some people just prefer to eat later on.

I save about half my calories for the day for dinner and dessert.

I have the same issue, I'll do great all day but at night that sweet tooth kicks in and it's all over! Add me on if you want to, and maybe we can be of some help to each other!

Omg I do similar. Except I wake up in the night. Try sugar free mints - mint suppresses your hunger. Also I know zero calorie drinks arnt the best but better than 38373cals of chocolate right? So leave one by your bed so if you get hungry drink that. Has flavour and if its fizzy fills you up. Just use straw or your teeth will rott

OMG! Tonight I ate: 2 angel food cakes with berries, 4 caramel rice cakes, a FiberOne brownie, and a pack of Gushers, and I'm still hungry! Can anyone give advise. I really need some help in this area.

Personally, I allow myself a little snack at night, and I've been good every day since I started losing weight. But it may not be something everyone can do.

The food log really, really helps. It really puts into perspective how much you're actually eating. When I first attempted to use this site a few years ago, I was shocked at how many calories a day I was eating. Having a goal in mind for the day can help. The way I use my food diary is that I plan my next day out the night before and then I only eat what I put into my diary. In this way, you can allot for having an evening snack. I do this a lot. In fact, I sometimes find that if I don't have an evening snack, I'm eating too few calories per day, but that's just me. If you say to yourself that you're only going to eat the stuff in your diary, it's a way of holding yourself accountable and it might be easier to stop when you say you will.

However, this depends a lot on willpower. If you're the kind of person who's not going to be satisfied with a single Oreo cookie or the actual serving size on the bag of salty snacks, it'll be much more difficult, and it might be more effective to cut out the evening snacks altogether or maybe just once a week.

One thing I've found that helps, even when I wasn't dieting, is using a dish for your snack rather than eating directly from the package. This might seem weird, but it can keep you more on task, especially if you eat while doing something else, like, watching TV. If you portion out one serving of pretzels in a little bowl and eat them, then there's your serving and you get no more. No going back for seconds, you're just done. However, if you've got the bag with you, it's really easy to go, "Well, I'll just have one more. -One- more won't hurt." And then you wanna have another one more. And then two more. And then, whoops, how'd this bag get so empty?

Another thing you could try is maybe breaking your dinner up into two smaller meals. So you feel like you have the satisfaction of snacking at night without actually snacking. And it's sort of a bigger amount, so you can feel more satisfied than with one mini brownie or 7 Dorito chips.

These are just a few ideas. There's no one correct way of losing weight or changing your diet. A lot of it's just finding what works for you. Best of luck!

I sip on tea with splenda or share a bag of light popcorn with my hubby so about 120 calories fir popcorn snack in bed once you change the habit it gets better. Super hard though, my little one goes to bed at 7:30 so I get snacky after his bed time. I'm adding you though the struggle is real.
