I was thinking I always seem to eat at night, since i sleep late around 2 am.
Are there any good suggestions that would be good for a night snack? I seem to always have toast. Fruit seems to work not to go so well.
I did try tea and hot chocolate and drinks but I always seem to want something... i dont always have self control.
Suggestions?
my suggestion would be to eat enough during the day.
eating late at night isn't ideal because, in my experience, it can mess with your sleep. i don't want to be thinking about food when i go to bed, in an "i'm hungry" way or a, not so conscious "digest, please" way. if you do have to eat at night, i would suggest something that digests quickly, but the problem is fruit is generally the thing that fits that bill. when you eat fruit after the rest of your food (which i assume had a fair deal of fat at some point throughout the day) the sugars from fruit reman in your blood stream for a longer time than normal.. no fun for sleep time (or really anytime).
if you sleep around 2am, i would suggest that you eat no later than 12am.. probably about 11pm ideally.
I like to eat popcorn late at night.
The latestlatest I ever eat is like 9PM, but lately I love to have peanut butter and crackers, which is probably a horrible thing to have.
I sometimes have a bowl of cereal before bed.
honestly, calories have nothing to do with it, and if you don't practice food combining anyway it doesn't matter. the only reason it matters to me is because i eat a ton of sugar (duh, fruitophile here) so i eat low fat. since when i eat fat it is included in my dinner (so that have all night to digest the fat before i start in of my next days fruit noms), i make sure not to eat too late. i usually eat at 6pm at the latest, but i go to bed at 8pm.
well im drinking water.. so its going well....
We usually eat popcorn at night... sometimes pate on bread or drink rice milk. I need to get some more seeds or nuts to snack on .
Im terrible with eating late, but my sleeping pattern is late since i am doing things at night and not the mornings.
Usually up at 11 or 12 and sleeping at 2 or so...

Popcorn with nutritional yeast! I can't go to bed if I'm feeling hungry, but I agree with hespedal that feeling full isn't the way to go, either. Keep it light (and fluffy!) with popcorn.
Also, I love me some cereal.
Yum!! I loooooooooove popcorn and nutritional yeast!!!! Idk where I first heard of doing that, but it's so yum. I add cayenne too. Lots. :)
I can't go to bed hungry either. I usually just eat whatever I can find: leftovers, cereal, a sandwich, juice...
Hot broth, even if it's one of those veg*n cuppa soup things, or make your own and have on hand. It's hot and comforting and always makes me feel sleepy.
I've seen this before! Alton Brown did this on an episode of Good Eats once and it blew my mind! I never knew anyone that did it. Cool idea.
Gross! haha. Doesn't it immediately get really soggy? Weiiirdddd.
I first tried it because if you have a glass of popcorn and a glass the same size full of milk, you can put all the popcorn into the glass of milk and it won't flow over. (You do it a few corns at a time) Then you eat it with a spoon.

not really. it's yummy!! i triple dog dare you to try it!
