Willpower, or, if you are like me and have none, save some calories for that night eating.

Yes, this is a gr8 idea...eat something filling late in the eve ....i have found when i get up after midnight and have a small snack...i have to log it on the next day and its aggravating to wake up ...and have less calories to work with

I agree with all of the above, I always have a handful of almonds.

I work the night shift, but when I worked during the day this was a problem for me. I always had a bedtime snack and that curbed my night time eating. Once I got an eating schedule set I didn't get hungry until it was 15-30 mins before my scheduled meal/snack

All great tips, but also try to look at why you're hungry at night. I have found with myself that though I love to stay up late, I get bored and/or tired, then I want to eat to either wake up or have something to do. So, I tend to go to bed since that is what my body really wants. But if I do get really hungry and am staying up, I have rice cakes that I save the calories for!

It may sound counter-intuitive, but try to NOT eat too much "dense" food at night (like meat) and try to eat more of the stuff that will literally fill the volume of space in your stomach, like a big romaine salad. While two cups of romaine has less than twenty calories, it will help fill the space in your stomach, leaving you satisfied and providing some nutrition you can use. Add some tomatoes and low-fat dressing and even double the amount and you still end up with less than, or right around, 100 calories,

Save the meat and other dense foods for breakfast and lunch when you are going to be more energetic and can burn it off.

Try to occupy your stomach with some good, light roughage in the evening.

What i used to do before i upped my calories was not eat before 5 o clock - that way i would get to eat late and stay within my calorie limits!

I have a definite hard time with snacking at night, especially after 8:00 (been like this my entire life). I now save some calories for the snacking and if I need them, I eat string cheese, 1/4-1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese or an apple ... usually something with protein or lots of fiber to fill me up. That has really worked for me and I'm not feeling as deprived as I thought I would be when I began this all. If I'm not still hungry for snacks, then I'm under my calorie goal for the day. Also agree with everyone who said drink a lot of water to fill you up.

Depends on your particular cravings.
If it's a protein craving or true hunger (not just munchies), try a spoonful of peanut butter, almonds (as someone else suggested), a slice of cheese or wedge of cheese (like Laughing Cow - 35 calories for the light version).
If you need something sweet, a small chocolate, licorice tea (naturally sweet, no calories), a piece of fruit.
Save a few calories for whatever works for you.
Also some people find that this is an important habit for them to change, they just set a time after which they won't eat. Even if you go that route, you might want to eat something filling or long lasting before you stop eating for the day.
Some people say something with high-fiber and complex carbohydrates keeps them full for longer.
Play around with it and see what works for you.
Also consider whether you are missing a major nutritional item that causes you to want it at the end of the day?

I have a meal replacement shake planned for in my food diary every evening. I either have it, have half if I've eaten more than planned throughout the day, or sometimes have cheese/dates or whatever instead. I dont know if its a good habit or a bad one really (and I am kind of torn) but each one has a third of required daily nutrients so often if I am craving something it goes away after this. I dont know if its that or just my sweet tooth but they tend to hit the spot for me.
