Anyone have success with night eating?

I wouldn't say that I binge at night but if I'm currently breastfeeding and have found that if I don't eat something at night, I don't lose any weight at all. So my snacking has been at night before I go to bed. I'll have some whole grain chips and guacamole or some carrots and some chicken. I try to keep it in moderation but sometimes at night I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow!!!

Im the opposite,if I eat at night I don't lose any weight..So i have my dinner around 5 or 6 pm and have a small snack after..

I am a nighttime eater as well. I have lost almost 40 pounds and have had no trouble as long as I stay within my calorie goals. I think it is important to note though....while I do eat late at night, I still eat breakfast every morning (whether I am hungry or not, within 1 hour of waking up) and I try to space out my meals and snacks throughout the day (approx every 2 hours). I will snack on things like salad, veggies, greek yourt, nuts, and granola bars throughout the day when I feel hungry. I typically do my workouts in the evening (sometimes as late as midnight-1am) and I always have something after that that is high protein. Usually that is when I have my Shakeology, milk, or protein shake. Perfect meal before bed, fills me up but is not heavy and doesn't affect my sleep.
But, my favorite days are when I am active all day and have saved up 1000 calories to eat back at night! lol IT motivates me to exercise more....whatever works, I say!

So I love to eat at night, and I don't have the willpower to stop, at least not yet lol, so I'm hoping I can just binge within my calorie goal. Anyone else save up lots of calories for the evening and still have successful weightloss? Or has anyone tried this, and gained? Looking for answer's with experience!!! Thanks in advance!

Here are a couple of suggestions after browsing through about a week of your food diary:

1. Really lower your sodium level. It appears to be well over the recommended number every day. That may be making you dehydrated in which case drink plenty of water. Our bodies often mistake dehydration with a feeling of hunger. Try drinking a bottle of water in the evening to see if some of those hunger cravings go away first.

2. I know this is going to sound evil... but try to avoid heavy pasta meals, etc. for dinner. The carbs and sugars in your current diet may be triggering cravings later on in the evening.

Good luck!

Somewhat off topic but someone had given me heck for eating after 8 o'clock, saying that it's not good for your metabolism and so on...not true then? I always eat at night because I'm breastfeeding and I find I need to have a snack after that, even if it's just a couple of almonds or something, I need to have it. And I seem to still be losing weight, not huge amounts or anything, but still, a loss is a loss.

Make sure you eat the "right" carbs to get your nutrition and drink your 8 cups of water. My cravings at night have stopped since I started eating my nutrients and drinking my 8 cups of water. I hope it will work for you as well. I believe serotonin is increased as you eat veggies and it goes down when you eat protein (thus you feel full but you are craving sweets cause it has none). Eating healthy carbs is a challenge though, I will give you that.
