How do you stop from snacking at night?

I don't. I save calories. I am a big night eater and there is no way I could stop.

Drink a bunch of water.
I snack at night a lot too. 7-eleven fruit cups are my favorite night time snack.

I shop better. I'm much less likely to snack if there's nothing in the house I want.

I'm a VERY disciplined shopper. Eater? Not so much.

:flowerforyou: I snack on things are "free" foods like celery (no peanut butter or cream cheese), carrots, cuccumbers, etc. Or if I've allowed for some extra calories, I will eat a Slim Fast 200 calorie bar or 1-2 100 calorie snack packs.

If you feel like your late night snacking is going to far there are a couple of great tricks that work pretty well for me. Might be worth giving them a try.
1) Create a ritual for snacking. Pick a specific time at night and your favorite snack and make a habit of out it. For example between 9:30-10pm every night i have my fav snack (a bowl of cereal with fresh berries and almond milk). This method lets you snack but it gives you something to look forward to and if you take the time to prep something that's a little treat it will mean more.

2) It sounds silly but brushing your teeth will help too. If I'm bored, not hungry, and just looking to nash for something to do, I'll brush my teeth a little early. Once your mouth is all minty fresh you will be less likely to want to eat.

But if you are really hungry, by all means you should eat ^.^;

i tell myself that i am done eating and i am done... 7 pm... protein shake after workout. that's it. then i just don't go in the kitchen. i know i can't have anything so what is the point. my calories are tracked for the day and i'm done. that's it.

I drop three teaspoons of Benefiber into my water bottle at about 7 or 8pm and chug the whole thing. It's been working to fill me up nicely for the evening.

flavored water and light popcorn

I don't keep snacks in the house. My weakness is ice cream and if it were there I'd eat it without control, though since I've used MFP and been able to see exactly what my food looks like broken down into calories, sugar, protein etc. it's easier to keep it in check. If it's not there you won't eat it. You could keep some popcorn if you are dedicated to eating at that time or eat throughout the day planning for you to have a few extra calories in the evening.

But really, don't buy the chips and cheese. Drink a glass of water. Brush your teeth. And post your food diary. I'm less likely to eat after I've posted for the world to see that I'm done eating.

night eating is the worse as after u eat u either sit on the coach or go to bed n what do you think happens to all the calories n carbs???

why do you have chips in the house anyway??? have healthy foods instead so if u do get "cravings" n u bindge its on almonds, apples, healthy foods with protein or good macros!

other good solution is.. GO TO SLEEP EARLIER! lol

I snack at night instead of eating a big meal. Save calories for it during the day. And a suggestion instead of corn chips and cheese... I've been hooked on the Laughing Cow cheese wedges with reduced fat wheat thins. I like a lot of the cheese so I do 2 wedges for 1 serving of chips and I measure it out. It fills the salty/crunchy/cheesy void for me.

Plus they have a ton of different flavors of cheese (regular swiss, french onion, garlic, and my absolute fav... queso blanco).

I just commented on a peanut butter thread. I was say that when I get hungry right before bed I get a spoonful of peanut butter and I am satisfied.

Will power. Eat a filling dinner and break the habit of snacking at night. If you do snack, choose good foods that fit within your calorie goal.

keep some calories left over for night snacking. and try to snack on protein filled foods: cheese, milk, etc.

i complete my food diary. or brush my teeth. i also have started drinking a lot of tea at night so i don't snack.
