    The best way I deal with late night cravings is making it part of my calorie intake plan. I usually either have a 1/2C to 1C of the Fage 0% fat Greek yogurt, coupled with either a cup of diced strawberries or a peach.

    I eat less during the day and eat at night when I get hungry. Problem solved!
    THIS. I am usually eating at 11pm and night and still staying in calorie limits.

    Yep I know that I like to snack at night, and I know I can't stand going to bed hungry so I 'budget' calories so that I can have a few snacks after dinner. It's worked well for me.

    If my brain says 'feed me' I try to distract it...usually will do sit ups, or some other calisthenics, then check email and MFP, i'f I'm actually hungry after that, i'll have a bowl of berries, or something else healthy, but usually just the distraction makes the craving go away.

    Why not eat at night? I have my bedtime snack around 10 or 10:30 pm, and I make sure it's both sweet and salty to curb any junk food cravings (banana/chocolate protein shake and natural peanut butter on whole grain toast).

    If I have calories available, I eat whatever I want. If I'm going to go over on calories because of hunger, it must be nutritious food. But sometimes I just go to bed. Like last night - I went to bed hungry.

    I usually get home from work between 7 and 8pm...

    I've really just shifted my meals to fit my schedule
    10AM I'll have a cup of coffee
    12N-ish I'll have a light snack
    2PM Lunch (really my first meal)
    8PM Dinner
    10-11PM Supper
    1AM Bed

    I figure as long as you're giving your body good nutrition and your habits are consistent your body will figure out how to use it.

    Brush your teeth and close your food diary. works for me every time.

    and if all else fails, I also have some tea.
