Have you considered drinking a cup of hot tea when you are hungry? I'm fortunate that almost all of my eating temptation is from 5am-3pm. After that, I'm ok. I'm weird, I know. 

I agree, I have an assortment of teas to chose from. I would suggest that if you are truly hungry, then you need to eat more ie: volume during your meal. A trick of mine, have precooked potatoes in the fridge. A sliced cold potato 🥔 with just a sprinkle of salt is amazingly delicious and filling for around 100 calories. I’m weird too, 😆

You can always try a bit of Greek yogurt. Because it's high in protein and low in fat, it helps you to feel fuller. Good luck  

maybe try eating a bigger breakfast? 

Maybe you’re not getting enough fibre in your diet? It’s suggested to have 25-30 grams a day & it seriously helps you feel so much more full when you get enough! High fibre foods I usually eat are: lentils, any beans (chickpeas etc), peas and edamame, avocado, fibre cereals, high fibre breads, and chia seeds/powder (easy to sneak in smoothies or overnight oats). Good luck 😊 

I have the same issue. Cravings hit right an hour or so after supper and typically last an hour. Good to plan a task, nothing sedentary or continue having a healthy snack. That’s a success in my books, as I’ve been unable to several times during this process. 

similar to what Debbie said! after dinner, if I feel full-ish, but know I want a snack later, I'll drink a cup of hot/warm water and I'll be good for the night! 

You're doing great 

If needing an evening binge, I do plain popcorn. it sates my need to stuff.  

Carrots are pickles are usually a good low cal snack 

try adding more protein in your diet. it makes you full for longer! try eating chickpeas instead of rice or potato's with a meal!  

I get very hungry in the evening, but I do eat u healthy food. All I crave is chips and cookies 

Tea works for me in the evenings, anything herbal with a bit of honey 

I like half a dozen frozen grapes in the evening. Refreshing and naturally sweet. Add 1/8cup of mixed nuts (protein and “good” fat) to combat hunger. Eat it *slowly,* and give it half an hour. Your hunger will be eased.
