This is OP. Heartburn and hunger are correlated for me— but yea, I get hungry ~3 hours after dinner (we eat at 6, I want something at 9). If I try to just go to bed I get heartburn and can’t sleep until I’ve had something. I guess a bowl of Cheerios is not that bad, but considering I don’t eat a ton of carbs during the day, it makes me feel like I’ve derailed my progress….

Tums? Prevacid? Prilosec?

If you really like cheerios then have that. 1 or 2 servings of starches per day are ok on a diet

I usually have a piece of chocolate.

I find yogurt covered rice cakes offer a light and tasty combination of crunch and sweet before bed. Liebers do decent ones. The fact they’re a little expensive stops me eating more than a couple at a time!

I lied, they’re made by element. Liebers are only chocolate.

She can't have chocolate. Read the op.

Then cookies or whatever. The point isn’t that chocolate is a magic food, the point is just have a treat you like and find satisfying

Did you even read the OP? Or do you just enjoy being obtuse and useless?

I have to eat before bedtime every night. I am not dieting but am very conscious of what I eat. I used to eat plain oats or weetbix with skim milk which was good. I used to eat them from a cup with a tea spoon so as to make it a small serving. I now have a low fat hot chocolate and a small amount of chocolate which I know you have said you can’t have. So maybe some oats or very low sugar cereal is ok for you? I can’t see it derailing your diet and I always found it stopped me overeating at dinner as I knew I had that to look forward to. However I do eat dinner much later than you. If I ate at 6pm I would need a second dinner sat 9pm!

If I’m hungry before bed I eat a string cheese. Not so exciting that I’ll want another, but has solid protein that carries me until morning.
