What to do about late night hunger

[mulmi]

What should I do about the hunger pains that set on after 9 at night. This is the time when all I want to do is raid the fridge, and that will ruin the whole days diet.

 

Drinking water then does not help a bit.

instant oats, small packet

 

[geecee]

keep some nuts or trail mix next to the bed and some water

[dirtrider]

Steak and chips .

[tombeej]

I'm the same as you.

 

Stay away from carbs, try only lean protein if possible. A whole skinless chicken breast or fillet of fish, etc.

 

Water also doesn't help - I drink a lot of black herbal tea (no sugar).

 

At a certain time if I'm not confident of holding out, I get up and go brush my teeth. Mentally it helps settle the mind that snack time is over.

Helluva lot of calories in that

what Tyler Hamilton did: soda water and a sleeping pill.

[Guest Just plain Crazy]

Take a sleeping tablet and go to bed early.. then you won't know that you are hungry!

[mulmi]

The teeth brushing might work. My wife might thin k I am insane if I cook chicken at 9. I think part of the problem is that we eat early. My kids are still small so we all eat at 6.

 

I'll try the nuts to. But once you start.....

[Ryan]

Half a protein shake?

[mulmi]

Sleeping pill ..... Screaming baby.....???

[Peter Parker]

apple, banana, pronutro

[mulmi]

Like a whey protein shake?

[tombeej]

Agree on protein shake - pure protein, not one of those meal replacement things.

 

Do some research on nuts and dried fruit. You might as well just tuck into a steers burger and chips with all the calories in them.

my evening hunger craves are sustained by a plate full of salticrax and cheese and a couple of crackerbreads....although I am not on any diet.......but those crackerbreads are basically air
