Midnight Hunger Pangs

If I have dinner by 8, come midnight I get the munchies again, especially if I’m up late. I’ve tried fruit - a keenu and a banana…it didn’t work last night, so I topped it off with a glass of milk and a cupcake (:blush:), so I tried to fill myself more at dinner time - 2 whole chapatis … it still doesn’t quite work. The fruit is not filling so whoever said that your stomach accounts for food intake by volume, is absolutely wrong. And nuts are like bird food, I mean really, I will need a kg of badams to fill me up. So what to do? Its also partly because I come back from gym in the evening starving. And I even have steamed veggies or fruit before my dinner.

Vat to do :stuck_out_tongue:

Vater?

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

hmmm, good idea Sara ... but during the day I drink like 4 litres of water. But, good idea ...also at night, I always crave something sweet. My no-sugar plan is not working.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

Sleep early.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

Vater vit cheeni? :D

lol uhm... diet soda? low-calorie juice? I always water down my juice, regular juice is too sweeet for me

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

Have a bowl of cereal that is high in fibre. It fills you up and it's good for you. Top it off with some fruit too.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

I've stopped drinking juice unless its freshly squeezed. I just fetched myself a bottle of water - looks like I wont be munching tonight. :)

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

saima not a bad idea ... i love my high fiber bran cereals.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

Apples with peanut butter and ice cold water.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

apples with peanut butter? really? hmmm i dont really eat peanut butter, but i may try it - sounds like a healthy snack!

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

A mango perhaps?

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

'tis not mango season in the southern hemisphere.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

You don’t get them imported?

Too bad, I just had one and its past midnight :yummy:

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

fruit... or cereal.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

worry not Starsky, I am still recovering from last season's mango binge.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

I would add one egg white and a bit of cheeni in it, and heat it for about 15-20 sec. in the microwave. :yummy:

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

eat less at dinner and then eat the remainder of dinner later on.

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

i usually pull out the Guava juice and put some honey on toast and eat it.... it also goes well with milk!

Re: Midnight Hunger Pangs

that sounds gross

Tacos - you get everything - your carbs, your protein, your veggies, your dairy…

j/k :blush:

Drink Green Tea like an hour after eating dinner - it really cuts late-night hunger cravings.
