    I'm finding that by the end of the night I'm still hungry! I am steadily losing weight so I don't want to increase my calorie intake. I find my self so hungry by the end of the night that I blow the calories I had left as extras on junk food. So what health foods keep you fuller longer that still tastes good?

    Protein, fiber and fat.

    However, it's common to be hungry from setting overly aggressive weekly weight loss goals. How tall are you, how much weight do you want to lose, what is your weekly weight loss goal set to, how many calories per day are you eating, and what's your actual average weekly weight loss?

    Refried beans are very filling for me. A spoonful of peanut butter is great, too.

    Protein!!!! especially kinds of protein that had mothers. LOL

    And of course fruit and veggies! The water based fruits (watermelon, etc..) not so much but bananas, pears, apples, and any kind of veggie you like make me full for hours.

    As others have said foods with protein, fat and fiber throughout your day can help you feel more satisfied.

    Combining some foods together works better for me. Pizza or a burger with a salad is more filling. I find eggs to not be filling for me alone but combined with toast or vegetables they work better for me. A banana with peanut butter is good.
    A potato is pretty filling for me. Bean or lentil dishes. Broccoli or carrots. Popcorn instead of chips. Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt.

    OP, I can relate. Sometimes a cup of tea can take the edge off. I've been drinking a lot of sugar free iced tea too (Wylers Peach to be specific) with dinner & after. And while yes, it has artificial sweeteners in it, I find it usually satisfies the sweet tooth that can creep up on me at night.

    Second (or third) plain Greek yogurt with berries and a teaspoon local honey. Takes forever to eat and fills me up!

    Fat and protein for me. Baked salmon with a pat of butter over the top, yum.

    I had the same problems at night when I was just starting the whole weight loss and eating healthy journey. It took me a while and I am actually still trying out a lot of things to overcome this. Though for the past months, I try to mix half-cup almond milk (dark chocolate), half-cup almond milk (unsweetened), and protein powder about 2 hours before going to bed. It seems to be working and good in keeping me full until I go to sleep. I mix 2 different milk because unsweetened almond milk has lower calorie, but the overall drink still tastes like chocolate. :)
    During the day, I try to eat half-cup of brown rice in the morning (or whole wheat bagel), and the other half-cup of brown rice for lunch. It makes me feel full, especially when I eat it with veggies and meat as protein.

    Potatoes. Probably the fiber plus the comfort of carbohydrates. Roasting them with other vegetables like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or broccoli and a little oil and hot pepper flakes keeps the calories lower for a decent volume of food. A baked potato topped with salsa, seasoned black beans, and some shredded cheese or sour cream keeps me super full for a long time.
