Just started using this system and it's great! One thing I struggle with is hunger at nighttime. Any tips on controlling those nighttime cravings?

    Save some calories specifically for a night time snack? That's what I do because I always have to have something between dinner and bedtime. :-)

    I distract myself by reading a good book, or having a sugar free popsicle.

    Budget some calories for a night time snack and make it something with some protein, that usually helps me. Then once you have had your snack go brush your teeth. Usually once I have done that it is easier for me to convince myself I am done eating for the night.

    I eat. : )

    Usually some Smart pop popcorn. 15 calories for a cup of popcorn. If I eat 4 cups thats only 60 calories and Im pretty stuffed afterwards.

    I actually find nighttime hunger to be really easy to deal with.. I kind of just ignore it and it goes away. Water always helps :)

    Hot Tea (decaf) that's sweetened.

    Jelly as well is a good thing to eat no calories but still feel like you are eating something

    Plan for it. Leave yourself 100-200 calories at night so you can have a snack.

    Save some calories so you can eat in the evening.

    Last night I had one of those days.
    I either snack on jello or popscicle (45 calories)
    I find the popscicles to be very satisfying.

    Or simply drink some crystal light :D

    I like to eat a crunchy veggie or apple...celery with peanut butter....or save a few calories and feel like I am really being bad by having a skinny cow ice cream bar( I stick the 100 cals or less ones)....

    If you know you are going to be hungry at night, then don't eat all your calories before then. Save some so you can have a snack. Or have a late dinnner so you won't get hungry later.

    Sometimes just a small glass of milk helps me.
