I want a midnight snack
 

I get energy at night but I have to be up at 8:30 every morning. I hate waking up but that is another story. So when I get home from school I am always doing homework and getting ready for the next day I try to be in bed by 11 but on a night like tonight I am still up at 12. I get hungry and can't sleep on an empty stomach. I think I am going to start making mysellf eat at around 9. So tonight I want a Slim fast shake but I have already reached 1613 calories for today.

For me, some water fills me up more than any food can. Then I'm always uncomfortable when I lay down for sleep.

At this time of the night, I'd say have a cup of milk or maybe a few almonds. But then again, I try not to eat past 9 pm - and I sleep at 11-midnite.

An ounce of cheese will stifle my hunger craving late at night. Eat it slowly.

trying drinking some warm tea. avoid eating anything heavy.

Are you sure you can't sleep on an empty stomach? Maybe you should try it a few times, see if you can change that. When I find myself feeling hungry late in the evening even though I have no calories left, going to sleep is one of the best strategies I have for dealing with it. Drink a glass of water and go to sleep - do whatever you normally do to empty and relax your mind for sleeping, and see if sleep comes.

I do agree with above. Somenights I find something in my stomach does help me fall asleep, cold water doesn't help me but sipping a cup of hot sugar free apple cider does. SF hot chocolate or tea would work too, but I'm not a fan.

try some sugar free jello..its only 10 cals and its a nice sweet treat before bed

I would suggest a slow-digesting protein before bed (ie cottage cheese).

If you are eating enough calories for the day (and 1600 is fairly reasonable) then part of it might just be psychological - it is normal to feel some hunger at the end of the day when trying to lose weight.

i have a bag of hershey's special dark chocolate mini's at home for just this reason! always seems to do the trick.

I try and plan my day around my life....so when I know I'm going to be up late, I always try and leave some Points (or calories in your case) to have a small snack. When I don't manage to make that happen, I take the calories away from the next days total. If its midnight, technically its the next day anyways ;)

My midnight snack is normally low-fat yogurt, as it helps me not feel hungry but it also doesn't upset my stomach. An apple or some carrots does the trick too.

You're planning on having something to eat around 9 and then go to bed around 11 or 12? That sounds fine to me - I save calories everyday for a snack around 9 pm. I save around 200-250 calories, and have a variety of snacks that I love to have around then. I try to have something fairly healthy with it but part of it usually ends up kinda nutritionally worthless, like a couple of baby cookies or something, but it's something I look forward to.

It's important to pay attention to how many hours pass between meals. We drive a truck and when we have night driving, once about 6 hours passes, I begin to get hungry. I cannot go from dinner to breakfast without eating! So, even thought it jacks my calories up by about 200-300 for that day, I need a meal at midpoint.

Just staying up late, I find that I prefer not having any food in my stomach when sleeping. I sleep deeper and more refreshed. If I know I am going to be up late, a pot of hot tea and a few slices of cheese about 2 hours before I go to bed really does help.

My favorite evening snack is plain yogurt with one or all of the following mixed in (depending on calories used already): cut up fruit, oatmeal/cereal, nuts, honey, wheat germ.
