Hungry at night

[Anonymous]

Sometimes after dinner, I get super hungry! I know I have read that it is bad to eat right before you go to bed, and I feel like I would delve into "dangerous territory" if I started this. Do you guys eat a snack before bed (if so, what) or do you just suck it up and go to bed hungry?

Sometimes I have a glass of low fat milk with Ovaltine. That seems to curb my hunger w/o actually eating something (solid, that is).

I can't go to bed hungry or I wake up shaky and lightheaded. I normally eat a light snack around 8 to get me through the night. That gives me time to digest my food before actually going to bed.

Just had 2 mini peppermint patties from the fridge. But I was just at an event with not-so-great food.

Try having some decaf tea.

Drink a glass of almond milk or soy milk, chilled. It feels like a dessert and easy to digest.

I usually suck it up, but if I am off the charts starving, I will eat a hb egg. Thi does the trick fo me.

Maybe you need to eat more during dinner. Add proteins and vegetables? I am never hungry after my early dinner(5:30/6:00).
Otherwhise Do you drink enough water?

If I eat something before bed, I make sure its a fat/protein kind of food. Like a slice of cheese. Eating carbs at that time doesn't set the stage for a relaxing bed time (for me.)

Chobani Greek yogurt (I like the peach). 130 calories and protein to keep you full. Not too much sugar and no sweetener either.

I air pop popcorn in the microwave (put kernels in a paper bag and close, pop for 3:30). I put a little salt on it. You can eat fistfuls of that stuff without consuming a significant amount of calories.

Last night I tried the no food 3 hrs before bedtime thing and was really starved. I also didn't eat a large dinner (handful of kale and a baked chk drumstick), I just kept drinking water thinking it would help, but I was really miserable trying to sleep. Tonight I'm going to eat a larger dinner.

I'll usually drink a glass or orange juice which takes the "edge" off any bedtime hunger for me. If I find I'm absolutely starving I'll grab a piece or fruit or a few raw veggies to munch on.

Last night I had 1/2 pint haagen daaz, basicallybpolishing off the container.

Yes, I always get hungry just before going to bed and that is why have to sneak a little snack with me to the bedroom so that no one know I am eating at night.
