late night munchies

[LawyerinTrainin]

Does anyone have tips to overcome late night hunger? I eat about 5 or 6 meals a day. I have protein with each meal about 20g. I read that not eating enough protein may make me hungry at night. I feel that after 6pm I just want to binge eat I try to eat 1400 net calories a day. I am not sure that since I work out 4 times a week it has caused me to need more calories????

In any event I would like any tips on what food to eat at night to hold me over or any techniques to not want to binge eat at night

The best tip I ever got was when someone told me to just stop doing it, there was no secret.

It may not feel comforting but it is the best advice there is.

If you want to eat at night try to eat some low fat cottage cheese with some natural pb or a handful of nuts. Some Greek yogurt is another good option. Sometimes I'll munch on some veggies like celery with some natural pb. It's filling and delicious

go to sleep a little hungry, wake up even leaner

Why are your calories so low?
That's why you are hungry.

What do you mean net calories?

I don't think you are eating enough. How did you come up with 1400 cals?

Carrots if you want something healthy and pretty filling.

Sugar free jello. 500ml for 56 calories and the gelatine acts as an appetite suppressant making you fill fuller than you are. The sweetness also helps stop sugar cravings

[Locavore]

How about reordering your day? If you're hungry at night, eat at night. Have you read all the stuff about IF (intermittent fasting) around here? I eat at 1:00, 5:30 or 6, and 8 or 9. Three, bigger meals, all later in the day. Works way better for my schedule than the little mini meal thing. I've done that too and felt hungry all the time.

Point being-- meal frequency/timing doesn't matter. Pick a schedule that makes you happy and that helps you stick to your calories/macros for the day.

Step away from the bong...

... oh you mean those 'other' kind of munchies. Maybe try eating dinner a little later with a little extra protein?

Sex... endorphin rush curbs appetite

Almonds!

I usually do nuts when getting those munchies, almonds are really good, cashews too.

Just try to get unsalty ones, gotta watch the sodium

Tall glass of water and go to sleep.

I eat about 5 or 6 meals a day.

Curious do you consume 6 meals per day in hopes your metabolic rate will increase do to frequency of your meals? If so then that is a myth, meal frequency dose not increase your metabolism.

I have protein with each meal about 20g.

Do you space out your protein intake throughout the day because you believe that the body can only absorb so much protein per meal? If so please see the link below.

If you train your caloric expenditure will increase so yes your caloric intake should increase with it depending on our goals of course. If you feel hungry yes lack of protein will do that. Protein is a filling macronutrient that will keep you full longer then carbs or fat (for most people). Fibrous vegetables and sugar free jello are your friends.

You may want to look into an IF type protocol. I follow the routine to help suppress my hunger maybe it can work for you too.

If anything I said above is completely fubard and not understandable its because I am completely fubard myself and I don't understand what I am talking about, I'mma make like Jamie and blame it on the Henny. I'm outta this thread, so long gay boi's.

Try pushing your last meal until later at night.

1400 cals and 5-6 meals per day? Thats 230-280 cals per meal. Do you enjoy eating this way? Seems like youre getting teased by food 6 times per day and you never allow yourself to actually be satiated

[Chuck2600]

I too have this problem... that's why I save the majority (or a large portion of anyways) of my calories for my last meal which is before I go to bed. Problem solved!

[xsgx]

eat some plain oat meal with nothing on it that will stop ur hunger right away..it always does to me atleast..

[Christiffer]

Maybe eat less meals that are larger and have 1 or 2 meals at night. Also like said above caloric intake seems very low.

[xsgx]

hey dude are u like 5'4 or 5'3 cuz u dont look 5 10 in ur pic xD @ joseph1990

[t.willou]

1400cals seems a bit low. Do you have enough fat in your diet? I know if I don't get enough, Im ravenous by evening. Ummm, also I like 4 larger meals rather than 6 wee ones.

Drinking green tea is a great way to kill cravings, or munching on carrots or celery. I find strips of chicken breast help me out at night too. Chew some SF gum!

Good luck! Night time cravings are the worst, try getting online and reading too. That helps me (just not MEN, that makes me more hungry!).

I love to grab a few pepperoni slices and slice a few pieces off of a block of cheddar or pepper jack cheese. No carbs and good protein.
