Okay--so I overeat...I'm wondering if my body just needs to get used to its new eating schedule. This staying up late (which I need to stop doing)....I'm getting the munchies late at night.

Not starving or anything--but in the daytime, if I felt like this I would eat.

I am plenty full during the day with what I am eating, so I don't get it. :confused3

Could it be my tummy is just used to getting a snack at this time?

I have B, S, L, S, D lots of bulk in the food and about 1225 calories per day (1 day is 100 hire and a 2nd day is 200 hire) with today being Fat at 19% (26 grams) and Protein at 24% (73 grams).

I have to have a snack at night. I will skip a morning or afternoon snack to have one at night instead.

Not sure what diet plan you follow, but 94% fat free microwave popcorn cures the munchies for me...they even have new 100 calorie bags that might be perfect for nighttime....

Just counting calories. I was out for the night but hadn't had a problem in the previous days.

Bumped a snack to the evening (or rather saved calories for one) to see if that will help. And tomorrow is a spike in the calories (doing a zig zag thing where I have 2 peak days) so that shall fix it.

I also began exercising yesterday--however my calorie intake takes into account the workouts.

So just a weird day I guess.

Hope you got it. Sounds like your changing up is the correct thing to do...keep your body from that routine and expectation.

If all else fails, drink water and munch a veggie!

Just had my apple--but today was the bonus day in the zig zag plan (not a real plan--but the calories are balanced so you have two days that are higher).
