So hungry at night??

I eat the majority of my protein in the AM, which helps to keep my hunger at bay during the daytime. I have a small snack, before I exercise after work. When I get home, I've been having a light protein shake, which curbs my hunger and sometimes that ends up being my dinner. My dinner is usually lighter and I graze less during the evening. Also, I spread out my calories, so that I have some to spare at night. This has always been an issue and I think some of it, is habit and emotional.

Perhaps, having a dense protein snack in the afternoon around 4 PM would help to stave off the hunger. I think that helps me.

Patty, I just checked Unjury's website - www.unjury.com - and they offer sample packets for $1.99.

Thanks Janet.....I am going to order some.  I appreciate the info.

They offer two different chocolates.  Chocolate Splendor is the one that I can vouch for.  Boy, my reputation in on the line. LOL!

I read recently that nighttime eating is a biological throwback to our caveman ancestors.  They would hunt all day, then at night, they would eat (too dark to hunt and gather I guess).  This made perfect sense to me -- esp. since so many people have this problem.  It's not a psychological problem, it is biological.  So -- we need to deal with the reality of biology.  Feed it with something that meets your needs (i.e., protein) and don't feel guilty!
