#1. Not eating enough throughout the day. Are you eating all of your proteins, whole grain carbs, fruits and vegetables. Making sure you are getting the right kinds of nutrients at the right times during the day. Remember Eat Every 3 Hours!
#2. Out of Habit. You probably already have a habit of eating late at night and so your body craves these foods (usually carbs) because it's used to them. Eating late can really take it's toll on your weight loss goals unless you know what to eat.
But if you can't resist and you're eating all the right foods here's what you need to do.
- Get rid of any foods (chips, ice cream, crackers, or other junk) you have in the house. I'm sure your family will understand.
- Get some healthy alternatives.
- Flaxseed Chips (1 Serving is about 10 chips) w/ Salsa
- Light Butter Popcorn (Small Individual Bags)
- Turkey (or Beef) Jerkey (1 Serving)
- Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt (1 Cup) w/ raspberries
- Low-Fat (non-fat) cottage cheese (1 Cup) w/ blackberried
Ideally want to stay away from eating too much carbs or fat before bed because those to Macronutrients convert to fat and is stored in your body.
Like I said, make sure yu're following a balanced meal plan and eating all the right and I promise you you'll see amazing results!
