MPF has me at 1500 cals. I usually am done with my cals by early evening (if I'm lucky) and then I'm crazy hungry for the rest of the night. Does anyone have a lo-cal high-fiber snack they can share with me so I can get through the evenings? I already know about apples and oranges... :-D Thanks!

    I always get hungry late at night! I usually have a hot cup of chamomile tea and that calms my appetite down a lot :smile:

    Try a smoothie. Tonight I jut took a banana, few tablespoon Greek yogurt, almond milk, and ovaltine and stuck it in blender with ice. It was just like having a chocolate shake but much healthier.


    There are so many smoothie combos you can do.

    I eat the Kellogg's fiber plus bars. About 160 calories and 35% daily fiber. :-) AND, they help my chocolate cravings.

    I've also started drinking tea at night, and it usually helps. If I NEED food though, I like to micro-cook snap peas for 1-2 minutes and sprinkle with soy sauce and salt. ( I pretend its edamame! ) Or for something dessert-y, I love strawberries and 100 cal Lighthouse chocolate dip :)

    Try oven roasting some canned garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas).. a little light sprinkling of salt .. makes a great nutritious, and filling snack.

    I have dessert tea with a little bit of milk. Or some almond milk. Or hot chocolate. Or a piece of fruit.

    I prefer to have a small breakfast and lunch then save most of my calories for my evening meal where I have something much bigger and satisfying, this stops me then getting hungry later in the evening, especially when it comes to sitting watching tv or a film, I just feel like wanting to eat otherwise.

    But i do keep in low calorie treats like snacksize chocolate bars or light crisps when i need a little something. xx

    If you eat high-protein, high fiber foods through-out the day, you won't be as hungry at night.

    Try eating a high fiber food (Old-Fashioned oatmeal w/ fruit, brown rice, shredded wheat, etc.) and a high protein food (egg white omelet, chicken breast, turkey burger, etc.) for dinner. Eat dinner a little later in the night so that you're going to bed before you get hungry again. For example: I try to eat dinner between 6:30 - 7:30 if I'm going to bed around 10:30.
