Late night munchies?
 

I feel a bit guilty. I just had a bit of the leftover pasta from dinner last night. I know that you're really not supposed to eat at night, but it's often when I'm most hungry. Are there any light, filling foods that would be okay to eat later in the evening?

If you are a sweet lover like me, I keep on hand the pudding cups like the Strawberry Cheesecake or the Chocolate mousse. They help with the sweet cravings at night. There is a great variety of the smaller rice cakes with great flavors like caramel corn.
Another thought, make sure you are eating enough during the day. It can be difficult to tell real hunger from cravings so don't go too low on your calorie intake during the day.
Good luck!

You're not supposed to eat at night??? Whoops! lol

I have lost 35 lbs and counting by eating almost exclusively at night. It is my trigger time, the time when I am most hungry, the time when I feel most satisfied eating, so I save most of my calories for the evening.

It is all about calories in/vs calories out, in my opinion. I eat very lightly during the day and the bulk of my calories in the evening.

Just sayin', it doesn't have to be all or nothing with night eating :)

Can you shift eating hours around? The times I mean? Europeans (I am told) often eat dinner around nine p.m. Or why not do the 6 small meals rather than 3 big ones?

I keep 100 calorie snack packs on hand. I take some in my lunch to work but I also snack on them at night if I'm feeling hungry. Sometimes I find they're just enough to satisfy my cravings.

It sounds really spartan, but what about a raw carrot? They're sweet, crunchy, big and filling, and low in calories AND they're actually giving your body vitamins and nutrients. I sometimes end up gnawing on a carrot if I get hungry.

Generally, the rule of the thumb is to not eat anything within 3 hours of your bedtime. So if you do usually go to sleep at 1 a.m. this would mean no food intake after 10 p.m.
