I save a lot of my calories for the evening and night.

I save my calories for the evening too. Small breakfast & salad for lunch, saving usually around 800-1000 calories for the few hours that I'm at home in the evenings. It's easier that way for me.

I try to save ~200 or ~300 calories for nighttime. That allows me one or two snacks or a tv dinner (Healthy Choice, Smart Ones, etc.). It's also mental - even after I'm full, sometimes I want a snack anyways, especially if someone nearby is making something yummy and I can smell it. It's just a matter of learning to tell yourself no.

I've found it unhelpful (for me) to save calories for the evening. I would be setting myself up for focusing on the evening ahead, and I'd rather concentrate on other things. Plus I feel a lot more satisfied throughout the day if I eat more in the morning and at noon. Finally, breakfast is my favourite meal, followed by lunch and then dinner. So, I'm roughly following a 500 x 4 plan -- 500 calories for each of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks -- and I have most of my snacks before dinner.

I NEED evening calories. If I dont save them, than I will ALWAYS be over no matter what. I am just a person that needs to eat every 2 hours, so I can not stop eating after dinner since that's usually around 6-7pm, and I am up until 11ish. Of course, if I am eating at 10:30 than it will be something small like a Speical K bar, but I am unable to sleep with a starving stomach.

Also, juts to chime in with everyone else, I am 5'6 and I am losing weigh eating between 1300-1500 (I mostly go with 1500 tho). The whole "1200 calories" is the LOWEST anyone should ever go, and that's usually for really small women (4'9, 102 pounds kind thing). I have found that most people near my height and stats lose on 1500 calories. On days I exercise, I always eat back my calories so that my NET is 1500.

I used to overeat/binge at night so often! I honestly don't do it anymore, though. What I do is:

1. Eat dinner
2. Clean up the kitchen/put everything away, especially any leftovers
3. Stay busy with something, whether it's a book or cleaning or organizing. I try to stay away from the tv.
4. Drink a cup of tea or eat some greek yogurt if I am really hungry or having bad cravings. Protein shakes can also help out here if I am legitimately hungry due to not getting enough calories that day.

It seemed like after a few months of doing this, I just stopped craving snacks at night.
