DONT WANT TO EAT AT NIGHT
Replies

I also crave food at night and it makes me gain weight easily. I can keep it to fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, a handfull of nuts, it doesn't matter. If I eat anything past 6 or so I will not lose weight or even gain weight back. Since I eat my dinner so early I am starving by the time I go to bed! Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue.1

I’m trying for no calories between dinner and breakfast so a 12 hour fast
Not sure if that’s considered IF but it does help with maintaining my weight
Right now I’m up 5 lbs, from a 10 day vacation, so it’s back to HIIT Cardio
Also love the after dinner tea 🫖
has really helped with late night overeating

Late-night snacking isn't the problem, it's the fact that said snacking isn't planned for in advance and not (for lack of a better term) "budgeted" for within one's daily calories. Rather than rage against hunger and eating before bed, incorporate a bedtime snack into your routine and include it when you plan out the rest of your day. Personally, I have a casein protein shake and a big spoon (40g) of peanut butter shortly before bed. Knowing I have this coming helps keep me from grazing between dinner and bedtime, too. There are also days when I have a heavier lunch or dinner than I originally planned I reduce or eliminate the peanut butter portion to compensate.13

In my experience, it really doesnt matter when you eat. Its calories in vs calories out.
I used to not eat after 6pm which I guess was fine, but it was hard not giving into cravings etc.
Now I eat between 2pm and 10pm because I figured out that's when I'm naturally hungry and when I burn most of my calories at work. I dont binge because I've been fighting hunger(because I've been fasting during the time when I'm not really hungry anyway) so when my eating window comes around, I just eat until I'm full, I dont have to cut anything out entirely. I just have to loosely calorie count to make sure I'm staying on track.
50lbs later, I only have about 35lbs left to go.

I know it's so hard not to eat at night after a stressful evening. I am going to start to write down everything I put in my mouth. I have never done that but I am going to start on Monday.3

*snip* < we'll just delete what I wrote in an effort to practice what I preach.
I'll rephrase. It's okay to say "I'm having an issue I'm trying to resolve. Does anyone else have the same problem? Can we be friends and support each other? I need a daily boost to my resolve". It's okay to use WHATEVER tool you can find to make your path a successful one. I'm just deeply sorry you failed to find that here.
@lakinte1 if you ever come back, you can send me a friend request. Everyone's story and struggle is different, but they're all equally valid. I have some strategies to curb cravings when they hit, and some things I've learned to employ in everyday meal planning to avoid cravings and snack urges altogether for the majority of the time. You can do this! It's not even that hard

I still can't quite figure out what the problem is. Snacking that is causing too many calories? Belief that eating at night impacts weight loss?
I eat dinner on average around 8PM. On occasions that I end up eating earlier...like 6 PM, I find myself wanting to boredom snack later while watching TV...so most of the time I just eat dinner around 8PM while my wife and I settle into a t.v. program. I'm usually in bed by 9:30 or so to read and doze off to sleep.5 -
When my urge to snack all night returns it is a clear sign of one thing:
I need to go to bed and I'm not getting enough sleep in general. So, check your sleep and focus there. Your body is gonna demand energy from somewhere and if you're not getting enough sleep that 'somewhere' is going to be food.5 -

I don't think the OP is talking about having dinner, but snacking mindlessly after dinner. I have that problem and I try to put a limit at the time I eat every day. My deadline is 8:00 PM because whatever I eat after that time is not because I am hungry. I just want to eat something out of boredom, or habit or just because. Even worse, what I want to eat late at night is not a fruit nor is a carrot (just an example), generally what I want to eat is ice cream or a piece of cake or chocolate or cookies, just eat something because I want something, not because I am hungry,0
