Nighttime
I can eat a low cal meal, put spaghetti w/some meat in a used weight watchers bowl to measure my portion better. I also had one piece of wheat bread. i was full, just like at lunch when I have a micro meal from WW or lean cuisine, Michelina’s is cheaper and they have low cal meals for “dieters” with WW points on them. but when my girls wanted a snack later, i found myself wanting a snack. so I had a granola bar about 150 cal. not big on fruit yet, so don’t have fruit hanging around. the girls go in waves, sometimes fruit is a hit, sometimes not. Then fell asleep around 10:30 or so woke up during the night sometime and felt the urge to eat again! Why I don’t know, so I had another gran bar another 150 cal. I am not going to buy these gran bars for some time because I crave them and eat them like they are candy. I can’t figure out why I have these cravings at night when I was full from supper around 6:30?? Legs hurt, so I couldn’t take a walk to get my mind off of it. otherwise, would have. any suggestions?

You may be starving your body of a key nutrient. I had a serious problem with craving sugar and carb’s for a very long time and recently found that I was not getting enough protien not even close. So I upped my protien and my energy went up and my cravings are gone, completely. sparkpeople has an excellent nutrition tracker check it out it really helped me.
Protein is the key there. Sometimes if if feel like I need to snack at night I grab a yogurt, or part of a can of slim fast optima. It really does the trick.
