This may sound silly, but baby yourself... when a babe is hungry and fussy at night, we usually give them a little cereal. One serving of oatmeal as a late night snack keeps the calories low (much lower than a second meal) and something I sometimes find to be satisfying. Good luck!

Sorry, I have no advice besides making what you tear into as healthy as possible, I have the same problem. I do really well during the day most days ( tho the exceptions are bad) but nights are rough. If anybody figures this one out, let me know.

Mars has great advise. My problem has always been at night, as well. Although, I found that it really wasn't about being hungry for me, it was more of boredom, so now I try to find something to occupy my time, such as DS or reading..My advise; however, would be to find something healthy to eat at night..nothing to heavy, keep it light, try journaling and make sure that you are truly hungry and it is not emotions (such as boredom, lonely etc). xx

I'm the same way. For me the preparation is as much as the actual eating. I now make baked apples. I buy very sweet apples, use my favorite spices,maybe a few walnuts and no sugar. I bake (nuke) them in a special bowl and wait for it to cool. The ritual is so much part of doing something for ME (after a day of doing for others). It satisfies me, keeps the snack healthy and makes me feel cared for.

I've cleared out the junk food from the house, too. Kids can eat apples and carrots and be healthy, too.
If the junk isn't there, I can't eat it. One BIG step in the right direction.
We're here for you, too.

thanks everyone!
