Late Night Snacking!

I do greek yogurt & blueberries for an evening snack (if my calories allow)... and sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon! It satisfies me and fills me up! Best of luck finding something that works for you!

I save calories for night time, and then I eat at night.

I stay at my calorie goal for the day.

Try it!

This, I can eat light during the day no problem and I eat at least half if not more of my cals much later in the day. It works for me

If I have dinner early (before 7:30PM) - I make sure to save extra calories and then have a banana and / or greek yogurt before sleep.
Try to avoid simple sugars before sleep. They give you an energy boost that will make it harder to fall asleep and will also be stored by your body as fat because of inactivity.

Yup, me too!
Works a charm.

this might be TMI but having sex or *kitten* if no parther! but that always helps get my mind off food! unless whipped cream is involved but u can try the light version!

I skip breakfast.

I have a small, protein laden lunch around 400 cals.

I then have dinner around 11pm, normally 1100 cals ish. The rest goes on snacks before bed. I've never been so fit, full of energy, and feeling great!

I read The Hunger Games,and in the book Katniss chews mint leaves to tell her stomach that it's time to stop eating because she drinks tea at home after dinner...I started this routine with green tea after dinner...It works for me unless m daughter keeps me up late and I have hunger pains...I have a apple or cereal...I think as long as the late night snacks are healthy you will bw fine.You should also read The Hunger Games,reading distracts me from eating

does the tea do anything for your metabolism?

Track it.
I find that occasionally when I didn't eat enough of something during the day, I get a strong craving before I sleep. Most often it's protein, and it only takes a small amount to help - a spoonful of peanut butter, a slice of cheese, yogurt or warm milk.
Sometimes it's a sweet (fruit) or chocolate craving. As Uglyduckling2 suggested tea can be good. Some teas are naturally sweet (licorice) and some can help you relax (lavender, camomile).
It's much better to eat one small piece of chocolate than to graze... eating everything but what my body wants.
But learn to recognize the difference between a craving that can be satisfied and a general desire to do something (which translates to eating) while you settle down. If you just need something to help you settle down, try reading or listening to music, the radio, etc. Or a gentle activity like meditation, stretching, writing a gratitude journal. TV tends to have too many food oriented things, especially the commercials.
Good luck!

I really try to stop eating at least 2 hours before bed - not because Oprah started a craze a decade ago, but simply because I sleep better, and honestly, if I eat late, I am really tired and tend to binge!! :noway:

I can gauge if I am truly hungry by drinking a large glass of water, and then waiting at least 15 minutes - usually the cravings subside. Often, when I think I am hungry, I am actually dehydrated!! What I do (and I know this sounds silly) when I REALLY want to eat something, but know I shouldn't, is brush my teeth! Or pop in some minty gum if it happens to be during the day when I am out and about. If you HAVE to have something, go with some veggies.

You can do it!!! Make it a goal! Start training yourself to not snack so late...

Additionally, try going to bed earlier...I know it's not fun, but your body needs rest!!! Bonus - if you are sleeping, you won't be snacking!! AND you will have more energy to exercise and have fun looking hot!!!
