Morning Barb :)

I know what you mean about "saving enough to eat during the evening. I too, like many people, sometimes get after dinner munchies. I've had the best success in dealing with this (which can lead to late evening snacking) [danger zone for me] by doing a couple of simple things:

1. Eating enough throughout the day so I am not food-seeking at night

2. Ensuring my dinner is the most protein-heavy meal and causes me to feel comfortably "full", and

3. Organizing an on-going "treat cache" that is readily available and easy on the carbs (veggies prepared, tiny containers already filled with dip, sliced fruit, cheese sliced thin, little baggies of 4 crackers, etc.)

It seems like a little "work" to get all this consistently organized, but it sure does help me to stay on plan and not over-eat or have too much leftover food for my body to effectively digest prior to going to bed. Seems self-defeating to go to bed on a full stomach, not allowing my body to perhaps burn off a few of the calories if possible.

Anyway I'm sure you know all that. Mainly sharing for those us who struggle with evening eating as I've been known to myself at times. Organization and keeping things "at my fingertips" really does help to keep me on track at night.

Fairly quiet day today, a little shopping for the house, then out for dinner tonight with some OH friends at Walker's Fish Market - very excited to see everyone as my cawffee nights have not been regular in a very long time, due to my illness. (This will also change very soon as I'm missing the opportunity to offer support to others AND the wonderful friendships the cawffee nights encourage.

Now that I've rambled on quite enough! lol

8 years post-op

B - coffee with cream x 3 over the morning, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (praise gawd, the Oikos is finally gone), a few strawberries

S - small slice lazy banana muffin (read: too lazy, muffins turned out to be banana bread LOL), 1 T cream cheese, a few sliced strawberries

L - small green salad with 3 oz chicken, a little dressing, sprinkle of sunflower seeds and toasted almonds, poppy seed dressing

S - likely just tea

D - Out - pre-scanned the menu at Walker's so will be having the Walker's Shrimp Tacos

Have a terrific Tuesday!

All good tips Karen.......

I have tried going to bed with my stomach rumbling....but just toss and turn until I get up and have something....

I try to eat something light before bed.....max 200 calories.....and like you I have my heaviest protein at night.....I still do protein first....veg second etc.....

I get burning hunger 2-3 hours after dinner......water wont make it go away.....sometimes a few crackers and cheese....or 1 TB of PB and a wasa....will do the trick....I do like to save some calories for this....I likely am not eating enough during the day too....as of course I am trying to save for dinner and afterward when my hunger is difficult to ignore

I love Walkers fish market...you will enjoy it.....

Night time snacking was always a HUGE issue for me pre-op. Everyone is different but I feel so much better, and in more control, about my eating choices when I have several options already prepped for me. I'm pretty certain that this "over organization" on my part has lead to a lot of my success.

If you have a fav at Walker's I'd love to know - I'm open to suggestions :)

Good morning Barb. I have been hungry ata lunch lately so added some veg. I need to buy some more apples. I do enjoy them.

Biking home again today. My husband took a piece of plastic off the wheel and it is moving better. I must of been rubbing even more than I thought. Queens Quay was really muddy yesterday. Came home with mud all over my coat and pants. Hope it is dry today
