Good Restriction

I have good restriction in the  AM at nearly 5 years out.

After 6P,   I just want to snack.

Any fix to that ?

I'm only about 13 months out so take this with a grain of salt.  When I get the evening munchies, I try to see to it that dinner is primarily a dense protein.  Lately, I've taken a liking to tilapia fillets or lamb burgers.  I fry them - which isn't optimal, I know - but they seem to do the trick.  Because these things fill me up so completely, I lose the inclination to snack.

Just a thought.  Good luck to you!

Yeah I know what you mean. I just keep ranch dip made with Greek yogurt in my fridge at all times so when I want to munch I grab some veggies and dip away. Can't do much damage there and I get in veggie fiber which is always a plus.

Thanks guys !

I guess I'm confused?  

You talk about restriction in the AM, but hunger in the PM - I guess I see those as independent things?  Do you mean you just get hungrier in the evening?

yes hungry in the evening.

I have protein hot chocolate at night. It's only about 60 calories and it seems to stop the munchies in their tracks.

Where to you buy that at Mac ?

Sounds like hot chocolate w a scoop of protein powder?

Like Ruggie I'm a bit confused. It sounds like you mean you get night time munchies. I do in the winter, just want to eat and sleep.

I drink more water, do 50 squats, brush my teeth, go clean something-basically I try to distract myself.

I do have a larger sleeve and I've discovered I can eat more than I'd like so I still use small plates and bowls. I never eat portions that are bigger than the palm of my hand.

I buy it at one of 3 places:

It's called Healthwise or Healthsmart (depending on where you get it). It uses whey and soy protein and it's a lot easier to make without clumping than trying to add protein powder to regular hot chocolate IME.
