Nighttime Munchies
The Solutions: 1. Avoid TV
Don't watch television. Simple cues make me voraciously hungry. Just last night, driving past a pizza delivery car made me yearn for pizza. I had to work hard not to order one the minute I got home. Don't let food commercials talk you into eating junk! 2. Fill up during the day
Have filling foods for your meals. Make sure that you're eating at least six small meals a day that contain one carb, one protein and one vegetable or fruit.
I think the munchies are your body's way of telling you that you aren't getting enough fat -- or perhaps protein -- during the day. What I suggest is having a cup of yogurt, or maybe reduced-fat cottage cheese. If that doesn't hit the spot, then eat more often during the day (but reduce your meal size) so you won't be as hungry later.
Eat high-protein foods during the day and never let yourself feel hungry. Always keep high-protein/low-carb snack bars at your desk. You'll actually burn more calories because it gives your body an internal workout breaking down the high-protein fuel. page 1 of 6 | Next Page
