Anyone craves for a snack like midnight and when your eating it u feel really full and can't eat it and then u get heartburn ,happens to me everytime I think I want a late nite snack )oh and it's a pudding or peanut butter and cracker snacks

Cravings? Cravings??? We ALL get cravings, the issue is what do we do about them... Whatcha gonna do??? My approach is no food after dinner, nothing, nada, IF I get unbearably hungry, I go to bed. And I do!

I save my protein skake for after dinner. My dinner is usually small, about 1/4 cup of food, so it doesn't fill me up for long, I have my chocolate protein shake about 8pm. It's great for filling me up, and keeping me from snacking.

I eat or drink my dinner around 6 and then have 2 tbsp of pb2 peanut butter about 8. It satisfies my sweet tooth.

Don't go there.

Just don't.

Here's why. At first, it'll be carrot sticks. Then it'll be some crunchy crackers. Then a few months later it will be popcorn. And then some soda to wash that popcorn down. Or you'll be up at night sneaking Cookies, or digging spoonfuls of Peanut Butter out of the jar at 2 am in the kitchen.

Big issue I see on the vet boards with regain? Late night snacking, and snacking in general.

When I want something late at night I have Water. If the feeling persists for a long time, I'll have a Protein shake. If that won't cut it, I check my MFP for the day. If I'm genuinely low on calories, I'll eat a cheese stick or a very small bowl (1/4 cup) of super crunchy Cereal with some soy milk. Any of these options are logged into my calorie counts for the day, of course.

If I still feel hungry at that point? It's off to bed with a glass of water or it's time to do some jumping jacks and crunches to distract myself.

I strongly urge you NOT to build the habit of late night snacking. It makes maintenance much, much more challenging.

You are so right!! Damn snacking!

Try a popclicle it helps when you feel hungry and no sugar 10 coals!

U all r so right ,IM fighting it everyone

You are so right!! Damn snacking!

I know it! It can sneak up on any of us and it's a damn shame that it's those snack foods that slide so easily, too! Nobody ever got fat snacking on carrot sticks and hardboiled eggs, did they?

I am also struggling with late night snacking/eating as of like 3wks ago.

I know. I shouldn't be allowed to snack- it's where all the problems start...

After dinner, NO food for me. I go to sleep before I snack.

If you're getting heartburn late at night, maybe you need to take your Prilosec or other PPI regularly.
