Curbing hunger at night

Here's something that has worked well for me. I DO NOT DRINK with my meals. The theory is that, if you drink with meals, the weight of the liquid pushes the food through your stomach and into your digestive tract, leaving just water in your stomach at the end of your meal. This passes quickly through your system, leaving your stomach empty soon after eating. If you don't drink, the food has more time to move through your system and therefore, you don't get the 'munchies' after a meal. Try it out and see what you think!
All the best!

Ninerbuff, so eating 4-5 meals a day is broscience?
Since your handle is football related I will use the following article as an example, it includes the daily meal plan for the players of the NY. Jets and was implemented by the teams Nutritionist Dr. Tom Bilella C.C.N. (Dr. Tom Bilella is an expert in metabolic nutrition and a leading authority in exercise & nutrition, nutritional medicine, and training).
and is very detailed down to what and how his players eat (It varies depending on the individual player) and down to the minute of when they should eat . The arcticle is located on page 80 of Muscle & Fitness NFL Training Issue called """""""" Jets Fuel, New York Jets Nutrtionist Dr. Tom Bilella, C.C.N. Shows You How To Eat For Maximum Performance."""" """"""Breakfast first thing in the morning then the players eat a meal every 2-3 hours (depending on the player) throughout the day, even on day days they do not train, to keep the body from going into a catabolic state. While post-workouts is the anabolic phase, the "growth phase" spans from workout to workout., and the goal is to maintain an anabolic environment by getting frequent feedings during the day, Bilella says, "One of the big buzzwords in sports nutrition is nutrient timing- staying in an anabolic state, whether that be pre-exercise, during,after or at other times of the day."""""

Now I apologize but Im gonna have to go with the opinion of an actual Dr. that is also an expert in metabolic nutrition and a leading authority in exercise & nutrition, nutritional medicine, and training.
And by the way, in charge of the diets of each and every player on the NY. Jets (some of the best athletes in the world and worth millions of dollars) than the opinion of a PT. that just has an NFL team's name in his handle.

This was pretty much the universal opinion of 99% of the fitness expert 10 years ago. New studies pretty much have debunked these myths.

A lot of these "old school" fitness expert had to just swallow their pride and move on. These expert are now giving sound advice.

Those that are too proud to admit that the old way of thinking was wrong are now stuck in the stone ages.

Yeh, Im sure the owner of the Jets that has a payrole of what? $50 million per year let a Physician that practices "broscience" be in charge of getting every once of performance possible out of his world class athletes. And im sure those world class athletes are clueless aswell and should listen to you, right?
