Night time snacking

Do you snack at night? We are trying hard to drop our bad habit of eating late at night! We eat dinner around 6ish, and I am always up LATE, and I'm starving by the time I go to bed, so I've always snacked at night. Do you snack late, or do you cut eating off at a certain time?









I try
to not eat after about 7 or 8. Granted, there are some nights where I'm just starving and can't stand it. I tried to do that when I was pregnant too and it seemed to work. If I eat a late night snack it's usually fruit or something that's "better" for me than the junk I could be eating that late.
yes
I cannot help it I get up in the middle of the night and have a sweet snack and some milk I cannot stop. I hate it but cannot fall back to sleep unless I do so.
Yes!
And the worst is if you wake up in the middle of the night and crave something like Pizza King or Olive Garden...something you simply can't have! At least you feel my pain :)
My mom goes to bed around 9 or 10 every night, and wakes up to have a snack around 11 or 12 every night! It must run in the family, but I just stay up till after snack time :)

I am exactly like you, I can not go to sleep unless I have a full stomach. We eat dinner around 5-6 but by 9:00 I am hungry again. Most people say that can't get to sleep if they are full because they end up tossing and turning in bed but I am the total opposite. I have to have something in my stomach to be able to fall asleep.

If I have a snack it is normally after my son goes to bed. If we have snacks with him around he wants to stay up later and have them with us. Once in a while we will have some ice cream or popcorn with him but it is not too late. It would be no later than 9 pm. That is the time that he goes to bed.

Oh yes!
I always snack at night...I love salthy snack but since two weeks I try to have carrotts or celery with onion dip instead of my salt! Not easy but enjoy it as well and feel better also.
