Okay, so it is twelve thirty at night and I am up rambling around the house. I have only eaten 930 calories today and I am a just a little bit hungry. Should I just go to bed and forget about it or have a planned snack? What would you do in my situation?

thanks

I'd go to bed. No value in the extra calories.

Do you usually plan a snack at 12:30 at night??

I would go to bed.....

How much later are you going to be awake? I just ate a 100 calorie yogurt because I was hungry too. However, I will be up for another couple of hours.

If you think you will be up, have a healthy snack (small), if not - go to bed! :thumbup:

wow, am I the only person who says, have the snack? if you are hungry, you should eat. It's not like you'll be eating a gallon of ice cream right? Maybe a healthy snack... absolutely.

Personally, I would go to bed. I don't like eating directly before sleeping due to the fact that my activity level will be nothing. I also have a loud, active stomach which can keep me husband awake with all of the gurgling and shuffling inside that takes place if I eat then lie down directly after.

However, if you will be up for a while and are really craving a healthy snack, it wouldn't be terrible to indulge.

I agree... I would have had a snack... like a small bowl of rasin bran Cereal or something like that... How in the hell are u going to go to bed hungry then u will dream about food... i have done it and since I know how my body works.. it wont hurt... now depending on what u eat... like the above quote said it's not like u are going to eat a gallon of ice crean or anything... not sure if u had your snack but next time if u don't want to eat or snack so late plan to be in the bed by a certain time......and u wont be hungry because u will be sleeping...lol...

I say eat if your hungry! I stay up very late to and if I am hungry at mid-night I know I will be VERY hungry at 2 a .m.

If the OP would have eaten before bedtime that's a huge risk for reflux. Remember, no eating 3 hours before bedtime.

Well, the hunger ruled and won! I ate 1/4 cup protein(tunafish) and went to bed. Slept like a happy baby. Weighed this morning and was down 2 lbs. so I guess it didn't hurt me.

Thanks for all your replies and support!

Ya'll are awesome people!

You have always been there when most needed.
