Working until Midnight and HUNGRY after 8:00pm

[LundyLane 0]

I now am working until Midnight and HUNGRY after 8:00pm. My band seems to stop working late at night. I eat dinner at 6:15pm and then around 8:00 - 8:30 I start getting hungry and thinking what can I eat! When I get off work at midnight I go home and end up eating bad stuff.

Any ideas on how to curve the hunger late at night??? Thinking of getting another fill but am afraid I will be to tight during the day.

Any thoughts?????

When do you have Breakfast?

There is nothing wrong with having a snack at night, IMO. If eating a small snack, that you plan for and account for the calories, at 8 or 9pm keeps you from going nuts at midnight, it's all good, IMO.

Or maybe you could shift your meals around so you are eating dinner later?

If you allow yourself to get overly hungry . . . it just sets you up for dissapointment later by the time you get home. I would suggest having a snack when you are hungry and just build it into your day (cut out a few calories earlier if you need to).

At night the best hunger busters for me were something along the line of a cheesestick, cottage cheese, boiled egg, etc. There is no reason to stay hungry if it is physical hunger you are battling.
