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.

I almost always eat a bedtime snack. It's usually something with a decent protein content such as string cheese with turkey sausage, nuts, rolled-up ham slices, etc.
Then again, I'm a breakfast skipper on purpose. My first meal of the day usually happens after 12:00pm because I'm simply not hungry in the morning.

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.
