Dealing with Hunger Late at Night

I have been cutting an orange up, plus it's fun to make the orange peel smiley face every once in a while.

Ive just turned that into my desired meal plan for tomorrow time. Gets rid of the craving and sets up the next day calorie wise to overeating. I don't really eat things because I find when I feel that way.. in review, I have been eating too many processed foods,salts, fake sugars.
My following days include less of all that processed stuff and more whole fresh fruits and veggies. If that doesn't help, a piece of beef seems to top me off for a week or two to reset my system.

What do you guys and gals do to keep the hunger away?

Here are a few things I do:

- Drink a few glasses or bottles of water
- Brush my teeth and floss so my teeth feel good
- Start planning my breakfast for the next day

drinking water is helpful, but thn i gotta pee alot brushing my teeth is the best because i hate eating with the toothpaste after taste

I make sure to eat more fibrous veggies with dinner. If I go to bed hungry, I know that my dinner went through too quickly. Fibrous foods have a way of staying in your stomach longer so that you'll still feel satisfied when you go to bed. For dinner, I usually follow a 2:1 ratio when it comes to veggies versus meat. The nice thing about veggies is that you can add more and not worry about going over your calorie limit.

Me too - skim milk. It helps to go to bed early too.

During my first year of college I gained 15lbs. I'm not even 5 feet tall so it was ALOT!!!!

I just stopped eating after 5pm. Obviously most people would be hungry again by 9pm so I enjoyed an evening snack of any two of the following:

An apple. It's really filling.

Vanilla or chocolate soy milk. 8 oz is a serving and you can sip at it and they both taste GREAT

Skim milk

Egg whites

a twizzler

a ricecake

Have a quarter cup of Trader Joes Raw Mixed Nuts (no peanuts). Or, make yourself an Almond butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread.
