weird times to get hugry

molson2 Posts: 5 Joined: 2004/09/13	2004/10/19, 07:10 PM Lately I feel like I am constantly thinking about food. I eat breakfast and lunch and usually dinner but by bedtime i need something again. I know its horrible to eat late but i catch myself doing this all the time. Or if I dont sometimes ill wake up at 3 in the morning and end up eating a bowl of cereal. It's really starting to disgust me and I need suggestions on what to do and how to stop. I know when u workout you need to fuel your body more but this late is ridiculous. :angry:

I think you'll find that most people on this site will eat just before they go to bed to make sure the body doesn't go into starvation mode. What you need to eat is something which will slowly release energy overnight such as cottage cheese. If you're constantly thinking about food, maybe it's because you're not getting enough. Making sure you have some protein with each meal will also help curb your appetite. Good luck :)

Also if I do choose to eat late what else besides cottage cheese is ok? I think i eat enough....im not a calorie counter but my diet is about 1200 calories a day. Sometimes i think i meet that goal and sometimes i dont. I guess as long as im not hungry i dont force myself to eat. But im just fearful with the waking up hungry and eating sometimes im going to start to gain weight. Or even eating lately. I almost want to tape my door shut so i cant leave my room at night :surprised:

It has a list of good healthy foods regardless of whether your goal is weight loss or bodybuilding. If you fill out your profile it will be easier to give you more specific advice, but I suspect that 1200 calories is too low.
