    Night time hunger

    Didn't see anything in stickies on this an have been struggling last few weeks. Usually later at night about hour or 2 before I go to bed I'm hit like a truck with hunger. I want to binge eat but have been real good not giving in to it. I have maint need for calories of 3400 and cut on 2500. Have lost 50lbs past 5 months. Consume 6 small meals throughout day based on my schedule. Don't want to put in calories at end of day? Suggestions?

    When I first starting cutting I would wake up in the middle of the night and eat huge amounts of sweets and go back to bed. I now save a few hundred calories that are to be used mainly in fats and carbs and eat a bowl of frozen yogurt with some peanut butter and depending on how many calories, whipped cream, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and syrup. It stopped my late night craving because I had already filled it. Maybe skip one of your meals to compensate for a snack later in the day or just eat fewer calories. If you are eating that many meals for well being or whatever that's cool, but be aware that several small meals have no effect or little effect on metabolism or body composition. Honestly if I were you I'd cut two out, eat a breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and leave calories for a snack before bed...best of luck breh. Congrats on the 50 pounds.

    Thanks for idea, just been hesitant to eat after 8pm as cant work those calories/ fat off. The days I have been struggling with are where I have earlier workouts such as my days off or weekends. Lot of days my workouts are 7 -930pm then go home and to bed, so not hungry. So those days adjust 1 of my small meals/ or snack and eat at end of day?

    BTW there is some research to show that it's easier to control appetite with 2-3 meals a day rather than 6.

    6 meals is some old bodybuilding dogma that had a half assed scientific explanation which has now been discredited.

    This could be the problem. Try eating fewer, larger meals.

    Three things:

    1. Water
    2. Water
    3. Water

    You won't eat when full with water.

    In all seriousness, besides that:

    - lay down and watch some TV. Often your body craves food because your looking for energy late at night (happens when my sleep schedule gets thrown off) - helps to just relax. And if you are struggling emotionally with food, the TV should help

    This is untrue. Calories in vs calories out at the end of the day will dictate whether or not you lose fat. Meal frequency and timing are only relevant in terms of how they affect your satiety, energy levels and performance, so if you're hungry late in the day then eat late in the day and reduce your calories during the day to compensate.

    I definately get my water about gallon a day, when I watch tv and sit down is when I get hungry. My wife watches food channel , nothing like a good episode of man vs food when your dieting and go upstairs and watch football and want some my old bad habits ( beer and wings ) lol.

    This is a dumb idea. Most people find processed cereal products to be a strong trigger to hunger. Low fat milk is too. Foods that are high in protein and fiber are the best for feeling full.

    Try protein fluff (use the search function, there is an entire thread on it), it is very low calorie and filling as hell, will definitely keep nighttime hunger away.
    Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

    This is a good idea. Protein shakes are a fast digesting food and although protein usually improves satiety, they can cause hunger and/or blood sugar swings in some people. Slowing down digestion by thickening them up is a good idea. Alternatively get more protein from whole food sources like meat and eggs instead.

    I find proats before bed to be really satisfying personally. Everyone's different, but liquid meals never feel all that satisfactory to me.

    Ive never heard of the fluff before going to check it out now and will use your suggestion for now , thanks for your help.

    Congrats on the weight loss!

    'Cutting' has never been something that I have done but I tend to adhere to what my calories indicate. If I do get hungry at night then I'll have a bowl of porridge with a little maple syrup on top - a little bit of fast acting/lot of slow release carbs there......

    One thing that I'd like to touch on is that of workout timing....

    In general, I workout in the morning, pre-breakfast, and will consume my meals at regular intivals as well as a post-workout shake. But, before bed, I'll have a protein shake - 56g - and I don't usually feel hungry....

    It might be just a case of changing a few of the variables around, maybe not meal timing, but workout timing....

    I agree (reps) Pro-Oats do the trick for me as well. 1/2 a cup dry Oatmeal + 1 Scoop Whey Protein and I'm stuffed.

    Agree with the last two posts...try making your last meal of the day something that will satisfy your immediate AND long term hunger. Oats are great for that. IF you try the protein shake or oats let us know how it goes...

    I heard casein helps? Because it gives your body protein for a longer time?
