I know everyone has had there cravings at night time lol. I call them the midnight mucnchies Haha to me they are evil midnight Munchies because it's very bad to eat at night you gain weight because the food sits there and your not active so it becomes fat. it would be hard to get rid of which means more stress ugh.. THE EVIL MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES

Hey that girl, Yah i do and think the same way I use to always time myself and mKe sure I don't eat after 7pm if I do then I would too regret it and just feel bad for the rest of the night and just wonder if I m going to wake up looking like a big ball. But I think if you eat a fruit or a yogurt or even a healthy cereal. Im sure you will be fine and not die. I regret it if I ate something real bad like dinner time bad haha

Loll.. If you worry about bananas and oranges making you fat or anything you must be very fearful of being overweight. You will be perfectly fine okay.. And thanks just fear about eating the wrong thing and becoming a ball. Lol. Im sure i wont let myself go that bad haha. The farthest is...... I don't know.. I think I always try to keep up with my health haha.

Never allow this girl to get tipsy at night and she will eat! I work out a lot so I don't have to worry about fat, but I have been known in the past to go out and drink a bit and then eat a storm. I am going out tonight to a birthday party so lets hope I don't get hungry later.

Hey crazy daisy, Haha.. Yeah it can be evil or good or okay midnight Munchies because, to me it's different when it's light food and fruit or some veggies or some yogurt or even cereal will would something light and that to me is good and okay. If you wake up and some steak or chicken or what ever you had left over from dinner and just eat all of it or even half that's the evil midnight evil Munchies lol. So yeah it can be evil but it depends what you eat and how much you eat

Its of late since a couple of years that i get a craving to eat prior to sleeping.This has resulted in me putting on weight.I'm trying my best to rid myself of this evil habit as you've put it quite aptly.I hope with more determined effort i'll be rid of eating at night which contributes to fat accumulation.

Hey payout, They are indeed evil lol. For me not to give into them but if I can't help it I'll eat fruit or yogurt. I'm not sure what can stop this evil but trying to choose healthy foods should be too bad. Continue to fight the cravings my friend =)

The only thing I can suggest is maybe eating a LOT before you go to sleep. But what do I know, I have the midnight munchies too.

Hey gamingMaschoist, Yeah eating a lot can help but, if you think about eating a lot before that time comes which is midnight you have to burn off what you ate so later on it won't become fat and you end up gaining weight and being unhappy because now you have to lose all the weight. So i think I going to pass on this one haha.. But yeah these Munchies are super evil they make us eat so much even if it's all in our head haha

I don't crave midnight munchies as much as I used to when I was working. I actually lose appetite when I am just at home and not working. I do get the occasional craving and the other night I made home made pizzas from bacon and slices bread. I didn't even have mozzarella, I used the grated parmesan cheese that I had in the fridge instead. I know it's not healthy, but if you're hungry, you're hungry.

Hey anne25penn, Mines aree slowly going away. I'm a little the same way as well.. If I am home all day I wouldn't eat much but I guess work takes the best of us and we just get hungry and just have to munch on something lol I don't really take as far as eating pizza and mozzarella to me that's too much to sleep with in my stomach late at night. So I try to avoid those foodsand just eat something really light or just light so it won't be havey on myself.

Hi. payout. I know all about the evil night munchies. I don't eat so late at night like I used to. If I get a craving, I will eat a pickle, tuna sandwich, veggies or a salad. This is only when I did not eat a heavy meal during the day, before going to sleep at night.

Oh they are evil alright. It's especially true when you have just eaten dinner, sat down in front of the TV or the computer, and suddenly, you find yourself craving for stuff to munch on. You could just feel the weight gain even before you start eating.

Hey inkyboz, Nice avatar funny haha I don't tinnk I ever felt the weig gain even when I started thinking about it hAha yeah to me when people talk or think about food then we do make ourselves hungry and have little cravings which is funny but very true. To me sitting on front of A tv or a computer can make you hungry watching commercials or people talking about on a computer lol. Then we sit there sometimes haha

Hi, when I get the urge to eat at night I usually have a stock of fruit like bananas in our house that I eat. This makes me feeling full without so much calories compared with eating junk food or ice cream or cake which has a high calorie content.

Because of my shift , by sleep in the morning so I have no guilt if eat in the middle of the midnight because I will need the energy. I'm one of those people who are blessed to have fast metabolism. I love munching the stick sof celery as guilt free the snacks and and sometimes I love pineapple. I don't eat much anymore in I don't know why. A grave of the sleep much more.

It really is a bad deal. I tried doing something with it before but it is hard to overcome. However, I think that I am better now. After the evening meal, after washing the dishes, I go out for a few minutes to jog and I think that it helps in a way. After jogging, you just crave for water and I see nothing wrong with it. Then after you cool down, you take a shower then you feel so good that you just wanted to lay down and close your eyes for a good evening sleep. In this way, I am able to escape your midnight munchies. You should try it.
