    Big mug of fruit tea or large glass of iced water and a bowl of crudités (carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, red pepper slices, baby corn, sugar snap peas, chunks of iceberg.)

    I don't get those craving like I used to, a bit of a blessing of getting older I guess (there has to be some advantages I guess :smile: )
    I used to eat half my supper at the regular time, and save the rest for my late night snack.

    I get them too around midnight. It's my cue to go to bed.

    I have cut out everything that I ate way too much of (i.e. bread, tortillas, pasta,sweets n chips) so I no longer have anything that I can go snack or binge on at night anymore. And shortly before bed I chug a few big cups of water so I feel full n bloated anyways.

    Typically, I find myself in the same boat. Sometimes it's out of habit, other times out of boredom. But what I find helps is to snack on celery sticks with mayo or to grate up some Parmesan cheese, roll it into balls then press it into discs and grill it on a non stick sheet until I end up with crispy Parmesan chips. Great if you're on Keto, no sugars just fats.

    I am a meditator and I like breathing through the hunger - focus on something else. Also if you practice intermittent fasting (or any kind of fasting), eventually you get through the acute hunger. I did the same thing that you're describing yesterday and was starving by 8, but then was OK when I went to bed at 10.

    Agree with a lot of previous posts.

    I save calories for “late night”—between 200-350 calories for beer/wine and/or crackers and cheese, usually.

    Also, doing IF really showed me how hunger works (I started IF in 2013 before its popularity really boomed). The hunger pangs are temporary and I’m not wanting food as much if I just wait a bit. I actually enjoy the feeling of an empty stomach in the morning (I eat around 1pm). That being said, in the evenings I don’t fight it much, just use my saved calories.
