when I wake up in the middle of the night like 1am it is no longer midnight. hehehe. but I want to eat something light on my tummy because it really makes me relieved if I feel a bit hungry. I like to eat a slice of chocolate cake and spend 30 mins to an hour eating while infront of the computer then go back to sleep again. How about you guys, do you love to take midnight snacks?

I eat snacks at strange times of the evening sometimes, but i try not to eat too much as i know its not good for us to eat alot not long before we go to bed. I try to eat small things like a packet of crisps or a fruit bar. I think the most i would eat would be a cheese toastie... but only one because then it would stop me from being hungry until the morning.

Mmmmm.... a fruit chocolate bar would make my mouth watery. Just reading your response makes me hungry now. I tend to control myself from having another food to eat because I just finished eating cheese flavored nachos. I will then drink water to relieve this craving that I have now. Thank you for the nice response.

I try not to eat after midnight, I cannot sleep immediately after eating, so I will end up staying awake more longer. Its ok if once in a while you eat some snacks when you're hungry in the middle of the night. But if you do this regularly, you will soon have digestion problems, acidity, and so on. Best is to eat your dinner in time and sleep in time. You've got to train your stomach and yourself to eat at the right time only! Self hynosis works! And if at all you eat, eat something healthy and easily digestable like mc vitie digestive biscuits.

Yep ! I do ! See, I really don't believe that the wicked 4th dimension should have any restrictions upon the noble deed of reloading our tummies. I am a spiritual bug, and I believe everything, and I repeat, EVERYTHING, not just we living beings, but everything has been created with a purpose for their existence. And that includes snacks too. And I just can't deprive 'em from that for merely some selfish gains of mine like keeping myself healthy, fit and in shape. So whenever I get the time, be it the morning, noon or midnight, I always eat, which eventually ends up fulfilling my purpose of existence too :D

Absolutely true. We should not deprive ourselves with what we want or what we crave for if we can be able to eat whatever time we want to eat. Thank you for this wonderful response.

Just like me. I just gained a few pounds but not really getting fat from eating during at these times. I often would feel that kind craving to eat though in the middle of the night. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend.

Seriously, I really like to eat snacks in the middle of the night especially when I was chatting and watching television. Usually, I like to eat snacks like potato chips and some snacks like that. I know is not good for health, especially taken in the midnight. Therefore,I only eat snacks in small quantities and drinking milk in the midnight to reduce hunger while in front of computer.

Thank you for sharing. Yes it is really bad for the health if taken not in moderation. snacks at midnight is not bad if just taken few amounts of it. Happy Mylotting and welcome to MyLot.

You really are a very lucky person for having those cravings being granted and will not take much effect doing it. I am also the slim type but then I gained 5 pounds already from having this kind of habit since I resigned from the company i have worked with. Thank you so much for sharing.

During my day offs. I am fond of doing this during my quality "me time". LOL. That's why I always have chips or slice bread (for sandwiches) whenever I watch movie in my PC. Midnight snakcs are great., Most especially if you also have friends who's sharing food with you. :D

Eating with someone while watching a movie is really great. It will add more food that you take if somebody is doing the same thing with you too while eating. I also like to eat while watching a movie just like you. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend.

it's normal to get hungry when you woke up in middle of the night or at dawn but i'll make sure my meal or snack has no carbs, only protein and fiber, consuming carbs during this hour will contribute more in storing more fats in your body, try salads, low fat cheese, low fat yogurt with nuts...etc.!
• Philippines

Thank you for the practical advice. It will definitely accumulate fats if these foods are all carbohydrates just like what I am eating most of the time. But I am not getting fat which is a good thing. Thank you for this response and Have a great weekend.

Hi dear, Here it is almost mid night now. I just had my dinner about 1/2 hrs. before and now sitting in front of the computer. Yesterday I slept very late and I feel sleepy now. I may be another 1/2 hrs. also with myLot and will go for sleep. As I am full now, I don't prefer to have any snacks now. I got a habit of taking honey before sleep. So, as usual, 2 spoon honey and 1 spoon Cinnamon powder mixed with a glass of water is the one I used to drink just before sleep, no snacks. Also, if so hungry and so late in the night, I may have some biscuits but it a rare thing. Regards, Thank-s

It is not a good idea to eat late at night. You should be eating your three meals a day on time and not that late. If you indulge yourself to eat at night or have a midnight snack, it is a good thing that you are taking some biscuits with you because it will not garner lots of carbs. Just make yourself feeling fool by drinking water. It is nice though to eat while you are MyLotting. Thank you so much for the nice response and surely you will have a great weekend there.

it's really depends on how starving i am that night~if i really need to eat something i will get some food but most of the time i will have something to eat and i will not regret for taking them even if it's already midnight.anyway if i do not feel to go on with it,i think it is better for me not to stay awake late at night to avoid myself from eating late at night as somehow it is not healthy, huh??

oh..that is one of my principles.have a moderation intakes fo any kind of food i have.i believed as long as we are happy with ourself and know what is good or bad for the body then midnight eating will not be the issue of the body health at all.have a good day!
• Philippines
19 Nov 10
Yeah, I agree. We just have to eat whatever makes us happy and with moderation. It is not bad though. We should just take care of our health.
• Philippines
16 Nov 10
It will still depend if you are still eating healthy foods at night though. It is just not a good habit to eat at midnight very often. Everything should be taken moderately. Have a great week.

I sometimes eat around midnight or even after.I try not to do it every day but once in a while I do it as i am just hungry and need something to keep my stomach from growling.I like to eat ice-cream sometimes and I love to eat nachos and cheddar cheese.I try to limit the amount i eat so I do not gain that much weight and whenever i do eat a lot i try to get out running to burn of the excess calories.

Hello there! just like what I am doing now. I am eating cheese-flavored nachos at the moment while posting comments here in mylot with on this topic. Yes we have to limit the intake of these foods and control ourselves with this kind of habit. Thank you for the nice response.

It is just fine not to eat if you dont want to eat but instead you just drink something which is a good alternative. Thank you for sharing.

I try not to eat snacks during midnight,especially chocolate or the things like that.I don't want to blame myself afterwards for I know I will if I do eat those things.However, if I have to stay up too late and feel hungry, I have to eat something,a piece of bread maybe.I can't fall asleep if I'm hungry.Fortunately I hardly stay up late.
• Philippines
13 Nov 10
Good for you sophia that you hardly stay late and experience all of these cravings while you were still awake. It is really nice to nibble something if you are still awake or you woke up in the middle of the night feeling hungry. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week ahead.

Its called 4th meal and it's part of my everyday meal plan. I usually eat breakfast food for 4th .
• Philippines
16 Nov 10
That would be a super early breakfast then if it is taken at midnight. But if it is really your routine and a part of your lifestyle then who am i to stop it. Hehehe. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

yes i do... but i try to minimise it as i know that it is not good for my health and can make me fat... so i try to sleep earlier and not too late at night to prevent eating midnight snack... take care and have a nice day...
• Philippines
13 Nov 10
Yes, the answer is to minimize it and do some actions with it like what you are doing. if you sleep early then you will wake up very early in the morning and you can be able to take a heavy breakfast then. Thank you for the nice response. Have a great weekend.

sometimes we snack at night. we tend to watch television or films then, which is once our son is alseep. then we tend to snack etc as it is time alone. we tend to snack on crisps, chocolate and sweeties. mainly junk food though. but we try not to have too much because of the food lying heavy on our tummy at bed time
• Philippines
13 Nov 10
hhmmmm... that is also my idea of having fun while I eat while watching a movie. I just had cheese flavored nachos while doing the postings here in mylot. Fats will accumulate inside our body if it hasn't been burned the next day so let us have great exercise the next day after eating foods at night. Thank you for the nice response.

I don't eat past 8:00pm every night. Its not good to eat before you go to bed because then your body wont digest all that food and that's what makes me not sleep at night because my stomach hurts from everything Ij ust ate. So I dont eat 3 hrs b4 I go 2 bed. I stop drinking 2 hrs before I go to bed as well. I never wake up in the night so I dont eat past midnight. But then when I wake up in the morning I'm always starving. So either way it dont work LOL. But everyone has their own routine of things.

Absolutely true. But its hard to control it if my tummy is telling that I should eat. Hehehehe. Thank you for the nice insight.

Honestly speaking, midnight snack is my motivation when I'm blogging. But sometimes I only drink water but if I found something to eat, I'll gram them immediately.
• Philippines

That is so nice to have something to nibble with while doing your blog topics. It will really motivate you to think if you tummy is full. Just as what I do here in MyLot, I eat something. Thank you for the response and enjoy eating while blogging.

When I was pregnant I would wake up in the middle of the night with my stomach telling me I was so hungry -- it would hurt. Probably because I was too sick to eat much during the day in the first and last trimesters. But I did not get up to eat because I was too sleepy and tired.
• Philippines
13 Nov 10
Wow! that is a great excuse I could use for myself. If I woke up in the middle of the night, I will just go ahead and sleep because I will feel lazy to get up just to eat. I hope it will work for me. Thank you for the nice response.

Thats great dear Aaron, for me, I am always hungry at mid night, because I always sleep late and I keep some thing with me to eat, specially I keep biscuits or fruits with me to eat them, although canteen in our hostel remained open 24hours but it is a bit difficult for me to go there and take some thing from them, so it is easy to keep biscuits or some other light snacks with me, and when I am working in lab, I do the same, but it is not allowed to eat in lab so if I need some thing to eat, I just go to my office which is near to lab. Keep smiling your face value ll improve...

Hello there! It is good to grab something to eat which is really handy. and it would include those biscuits because you will really have easy bites on it and it will not make you far. Fruits are good as well but sometimes you will not be able to eat it infront of the computer while you do mylotting and chatting with your special someone. You really should not eat inside the lab for safety purposes as well and for the cleanliness of your company. Thank you for the great response and yes I will continue to wear this genuine smile all the time.
