Does anyone purposely go to bed hungry or do you eat if you're hungry right at bedtime? I've always ignored the hunger and went to bed. It's not acid reflux (haven't had any, praise God!), but real genuine hunger. I could eat anything right now. In the past (healthy days), I learned to just go to bed, something to do with making the metabolism work/calories burn, etc. don't remember exact science. Also in the past (non healthy days) I thought I'd be hungry and would end up eating a snack before bed. But that was refux. So even though I'm genuinely hungry now. I wouldn't even want to start up that terrible old habit I had. I think I posted my status out of even thinking of getting something to eat, even if it's healthy.

If I was hungry I would eat a healthy small snack. If you are working out in the evenings your body may need this for recovery. You have to figure out what works for you.

Actually, I've noticed that I've been starting to snack before bedtime - a bad habit that happens out of boredom? I don't know. I really want to kick this habit but I'm not sure how, other than drinking some water and maybe doing something else (reading, going to bed) to keep my mind off things. I'm not really hungry, I think it's "ghost" hunger reminding me of what I used to do. Luckily summer holidays are coming up so I'm hoping that will help me shake up some of the bad habits I've been redeveloping.

I typically don't eat after about 8:00 in the evening, hungry or not. It's likely that I'm hungry because I've seen food on the tv or I just need some water. I don't sleep nearly as well if I eat, often nightmares if I've had anything sweet- also it interrupts my sleep if my body has to break down food before it starts the process of resting/recovery while I'm sleeping. I may wake up and have something in the morning, I try half a protein shake with my vitamins, but I don't usually finish that until well after noon. Being busy helps. Don't mean to get off topic, but in response to your thoughts, I personally won't eat unless it's a tsp of something just to kill a craving good topic btw
