    If I am TRULY hungry I will drink tea or water and have a protein shake or cottage cheese and pb. Everyone has different facts/opimions on this but for me It doesn't matter what time it is, but the food you are putting into your body, and if you need it rather than want it.

    I eat what I want, when I want -- as long as it fits into my daily calorie goals.

    I save calories for a late night snack. 60 cals min- a pudding cup ;-) up to chips and mango salsa, just depending on the calories left. Figure it's better to let myself have it then fighting it!

    Yep! I agree :)
    Why go to bed hungry and miserable then wake up in the morning starving? No since in it!

    I typically always have a snack at night. I try to leave myself the calories to do so. Normally it ends up being chips & salsa or ice cream.

    I like them sexy, hot, and waiting for me in bed.

    I am for it!! I love my night time snacking with my husband at night when we are winding down and watching t.v. As long as you don't go crazy all day long, you should have room for a little treat :)

    I used to do this all the time until I heard that it can make you hungrier the next day and make you want to eat more so I stopped and it really helped!

    I would buy this! When I was in my groove, I wasn't doing my evening snack (not even feeling like i needed it). I've gotten out of my groove. I am going to TRY REALLY HARD to not do my snack tonight and see if it helps get my mojo back.

    I have done a good amount of research on this topic, and found that most fit people agree that snacking at night is perfectly okay as long as it fits your calorie requirements. I often skip breakfast and eat the majority of my calories at night. I know this is a big NO-NO for many dieters, but it suits me just fine :tongue: .

    i eat a snack right before bed every night. feed my muscles!! i make sure its a slow releasing protein with healthy fats though. steal my recipe;)

    -1 scoop casein protein powder (i use cookies n cream by ON...chocolate is yummy too)
    -1 TBSP natural nut butter
    -add almond milk and mix until its pudding like

    freeze for half hour

    thank me later. ;)

    Yum! This sounds great! I get a sweet tooth after dinner, so I always try to save about 150 calories for a before bed snack. I generally try to eat it before 9:00 pm. One of my favorites are the dark chocolate Quadritini wafers (140 cal). Or a mini-bag of popcorn (100 calories). Or occasionally, I will have a cookie with a cup of herbal tea. Makes me not feel deprived....

    Snacking at night is my favorite thing to do. lol. i basically just save up some of my calories for the day, and i use the calories for a couple snacks in the later hours. i much more enjoy to eat my snacks once my kids are in bed and i can relax.

    ^^ This is exactly the same for me. It always fits into my calories for the day, and I keep it under 200 calories. I can't tell if I am really hungry, or if by habit I'm just ready for something! lol... But like you, I look forward to my little treats, and we have fun with it. I usually bake us some kind of protein cakes, and eat it with yogurt or cottage cheese. Lately I have been loving mini baked oatmeal cakes with cinnamon protein mixed in before baking... It's like an oatmeal muffin of goodness! Yum!

    I don't see a problem with it as long as it fits within your goal for the day. Eating at night doesn't make you fat, overeating makes you fat.

    Same here, it's kind of our bonding time lol. After our son is in bed and my husband is home from work (sometimes that's 10:00pm) we like to just sit together, snack and watch shows and talk!

    Depends on the snack. I might have a sugar free Jell-O in the evening. But nothing really substantial....I dont need it.
