    It all depends. Are you unavoidably hungry?

    The first thing I'd do is look at my macros and calories for the day. If I'm under, I have my answer to why I'm hungry and also know what macro I'm lacking in.

    If I happen to be at or over my macros for the day but am still craving something to eat, I'll eat something large in volume but low in calories such as oatmeal, rice, even guacamole and pita chips would be a great choice! (and one of my favorites!)

    A very light snack, then go to bed. If I'm sleeping, I won't notice the hunger.

    I would eat lean protein if possible. If this is not possible, then I eat a mix of fat and protein. A cheddar cheese stick, a spoonful of peanut butter, no fat greek yogurt with berries, a protein shake, etc.

    If it's really late, past 11pm, I just go to bed.

    If it's before 11pm, I'll try some exercise, like a brisk walk (I do a walking DVD) or some minutes with the hula hoop. Exercise usually kills my appetite.

    If that still doesn't work, I'll have a small plate of sliced cucumber or 5 baby carrots. Either choice is under 30 calories and good for you to boot.

    Just remember that if you had a good day food-wise, you aren't really hungry!

    I eat. If my body is hungry, clearly I need to give it food. Eating after some arbitrary time won't make you fat, I promise. I eat right before bed all the damn time.

    Maybe 10 almonds or celery with a little hummus.

    I have lost 307 lbs. take a 500-600 calorie snack to bed every single night.. There is no set time when you have to quit eating.. If you have the calories to consume then have at them... As long as your hitting your macros and caloric intake eat whenever you want too... Best of Luck..

    Fruit is carbs and sugar! I squeeze a lemon and a couple key limes into water add stevia and ice and drink in a stem glass. Works every time. :happy:

    Even my trainer said don't eat after 8 because it will go straight to my *kitten*.

    I did not know that "food" has a watch ... can imagine it going, "Oooooo - look at the time, best get to the *kitten* pronto fellas!" LOL

    Have you eaten all of your calories already? If not, eat! It doesn't matter what time you eat.

    ^^ This! But if I have eaten my calories, its water and bed.
