Hi everyone . I developed a horrible habit of eating in the middle of the night. I blame it on breasting feeding and having lots of babies and always being hungry. I know need to kick that habit and it's been very difficult. Any suggestions ? Or any ideas of healthy snacking that would curb that need to eat desire ? Thanks

    When is your last meal/snack before bed? I usually have a snack (anywhere from roughly 100 to 300 or so cals,depending) an hour or so before bed.If not, I don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, but I will wake up early in the morning absolutely starving

    Well I'd say if you're breastfeeding it's perfectly OK to have a snack... your body needs enough calories/nutrients to feed that baby! Generally, I try not to eat anything after dinner and just have water or hot tea... but when I do eat a snack it's usually popcorn or cheese. 100-200cals

    The reason you feel hungry late at night is probably because you aren't eating enough during the day

    I'm a university student and am often up til past 3am studying. The boredom and being up Kate's gets me craving snacks. I always go for fruit or veggies !
