Evening eating :)

I do have this problem, although I am working on it. I tell myself that if I am going to eat something then I must do a work out for at least 30 minutes after eating said food. The only time that I do not do this is if I am eating fruits or raw vegetables, because they do not contain a lot of calories. Of course, as has been said, it is not good to eat after 8pm because you're not burning off the calories and therefore any sugar or fat that was in the food is automatically stored and used in creating more fat cells... it really isn't a good thing to do. I don't buy chips, or cookies, or chocolate or anything of that sort... so I basically know that if I am going to eat at least it will be relatively healthy. Like right now I have a small portion of diced peaches beside me, which is a lot better than a bowl of chips. I also know that if you make your fridge a safer place, like putting away the bad food where it is harder to get at, you'll be less likely to go through all the work to get it. You should really work on making your spaces a lot healthier and then that will also help with combating these evening munchies. Now don't get me wrong, I love pop corn and chips and cookies... but really I only let myself have a small treat maybe once a week... because I know that those calories going in are going to be tremendously hard to get off since I am not a huge exerciser. Make sure you watch your sugar intake. And I mean WATCH it closely. If you over due your sugar in take every day this can lead to obesity, heart problems, diseases such as diabetes, etc. Sugar intake is another major issue when it comes to consuming foods. You really got to stay away from processed foods, excess sugar in take, and watch those calories going in. But any ways, this isn't really about any of that, so I would say for me I just make sure that my spaces are healthy and it makes munching at least better for me... :). Try to eat before 8pm and then go to bed before 11pm... that works too, because your body needs food approximately every 3 hours.

Yeah I also love to munch some snacks in the evening while sitting in front of my computer.. It makes me feel sleepy after eating a lot amount of snacks and it is annoying since I still have some homework to do.. Some tips if you want to prevent eating unhealthy food, try to drink a lot of water, it works for me, after drinking much, I don't feel hungry anymore.. Also if you want, try to change your snacks to fruits like grapes maybe.. My mother told me not to eat heavy food, means food with high calories and can make you full, after 7 pm. She said it can make you chubby, but in fact our digestion system works optimally around 6 to 7 pm...

Honestly I used to be the same way. Now I have a routine with it, if I am hungry at night I go to bed. I tell myself oh well you can eat in the morning. It is so bad because we are not working it off if we eat before bed... So, if I am craving something to eat, I choose the bed instead! Lol. It has helped me not to eat in the late evenings now. :)

you're not the only one. i too have biscuits and chocolates near my computer. at least you're eating pop corn. it doesn't contain plenty of calories. be careful with the salt though...
