I'm having some issues, I'm pretty good most of the time but after my work out at night, I always snack at night or else I get really stress out and can't sleep. =( how can i stop snacking? generally the snacks are healthy though.
 
If it doesn't put you over your calories for the day, I don't see the problem with snacking at night, especially if it's helping you.
 
I have the same problem. Sometimes when I come home from the gym I feel really hungry. I dont want to eat bc i feel like I'm going to defeat the purpose of my workout. To help I will drink really cold water to make me feel full. If i just have to eat something i'll eat carrots or celery dipped in a little fat free ranch. I also am a slave to diet coke. I know its bad for me but I cant help it. I feel like the carbonation in it also makes me feel full.

This is illogical.

A workout breaks down your body.

Nutrition builds it back up.

You being hungry after your workout probably is telling you something.

As noted above, if your eating at night doesn't put you over you caloric allotment, assuming your goal is fat loss, it's a moot point.
 
What is working for me...

I have evening food issues myself.

I have started tweaking each meal (I eat five times a day-sometimes six) cutting calories where I can (a little less olive oil, maybe 1/2 ounce less cheese, substituting two egg whites for a whole egg, etc) finding extra calories that I really don't miss and using them for night time noshing.

right now I am having a tuna kit in the evening, as my right before bed snack, a nice mix of protein, carbs and fat and it really takes care of the hunger.

Hope this might help you - just adjust where you can and truly, if you REALLY are hungry, EAT.
 
I tried to fight night time munchies for years, and for me, it just doesnt go away. Night time happens to be when I'm most lively and also when I like to eat.

Losing weight and keeping weight off is going to work when we find a way that works good for you personally, and you can be happy, not feeling like you are depriving yourself.
 
Maybe try just having a fruit at night.

Or do what I do (even during the day). I pack a small bag of Frosted Shredded Wheats lol. And I munch on that whenever I feel cravings for something....

I was also told to try frozen milk.. I'm gonna do that tomorrow though :p
