I recently received a question that many of us can relate to. If you are following dietary changes and reducing calories to lose weight, you may get a little hungry late at night. After you have consumed everything allowed for the day, the question is, "What can I eat?"
First thing, is to stay away from non-nutritious snacks. If it happens once in a while, it is OK to indulge in a low-calorie snack, even if you're at your daily diet max. Sip (slow consumption) a low-sodium vegetable juice or eat a serving of baby carrots or other colorful vegetable. Another option is to sip an 8-ounce glass of skim or soy milk. It is light and filling due to the protein content. Try to satisfy the night time crave with a maximum of 100 calories to avoid derailing your hard work of the day. If your night time hunger becomes regular, it means that you need to redistribute your calories during the day to ensure that you are eating every three hours.
