    I know the feeling... I have MANY more awake hours than sleeping hours, and sometimes the munchies attack like little ninjas out to assassinate my healthy plan...

    Try a spoon full of PB or a handful of something like almonds. While they both may add about 110 calories, it can also keep you from waking up at night feeling like you are starving.

    Yesterday I could have eaten the entire pantry... could not get satisfied. Today, I had more protein, and I'm good. As long as my fingers are busy typing here, instead of dipping in and out of the bag of cookies in the pantry!

    Peanut butter is a good suggestion - I just had some myself to stave off the hunger beasts...

    A little statement to read over and help those late cravings:

    "45 to 60 minutes before bed eat 1-1.5 cups cottage cheese (2% fat or less) or casein protein powder to fight late night hunger cravings and give your body some slow digesting casein protein to breakdown and use during the night; it's void of sugar, low carb (lactose) and high protein, plus it's got calcium which can help you sleep. No, it won't get stored as fat!"

    I stick with Optimum Nutrition Casein. I use it when I stay up later than normal and have late night cravings.

    I usually purchase it from bodybuilding.com . You can find it at some local health food stores or places like VitaminShoppe and Vitamin World if either of those are local for you.

    You joking right?

    If one is over their caloric maintenance it will be stored as fat. Anyway, regarding hunger. When dropping weight, hunger comes down to two things.

    1. Low calories
    2. Multiple meals

    It's absurd to suggest 6 meals out of 1200 calories, but many on this site do so. No wonder they are hungry all the time. Another option is to condense meal intake down to 2 or 3. So now you would have 600, 400 calorie meals. That allows the eater to have more filling meals.

    Just my 2 cents.
