Hey there Arashii01,
I know what you mean about eating in the evening--it's pretty compelling--but I've never had to get up and eat.
It might be worth checking with your doctor. Of course, posts on a website should never substitute for medical advice--I'm not a doctor or health professional! But here are some thoughts:
- Try to eat more during the day even if you don't feel hungry. Probably the reason you aren't hungry during the day is because you loaded up in the night. This might help switch your intake to daylight hours.
- Plan a snack about an hour before your bedtime. Include some protein--not just carbs or fats. For example, that yogurt you find so tempting, or some cheese, or lowfat cottage cheese, and an apple. Fresh fruit does not contain a lot of calories. Add a few nuts (maybe 10) if you like.
- Are you really hungry in the night, or are you having acid reflux or heartburn? Sometimes antacid tablets can really help in the case of heartburn--which sometimes can feel like hunger. Also, drinking an 8-oz. glass of water can help as well. Sometimes thirst feels like hunger to some people.
