Tips for Evening Eating
- Keep portions moderate: Eating large meals late at night can cause discomfort and disrupt sleep.
- Focus on protein and fiber: These nutrients help you feel full longer.
- Limit sugar and refined carbs: Avoid high-sugar snacks that can spike blood sugar and trigger cravings.
- Include healthy fats in moderation: Nuts, seeds, or avocado can make meals more satisfying.
Best Foods to Eat at Night
1.
Greek Yogurt
High in protein and low in sugar, Greek yogurt keeps you full and can be paired with berries or a sprinkle of nuts.
2.
Cottage Cheese
A protein-rich option that’s light but filling. Cottage cheese contains slow-digesting proteins that may help keep you satisfied through the night.
3. Fresh Vegetables
Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips are low-calorie, high-fiber snacks that add crunch and nutrients.
4. Fruits
Small portions of fruit such as apples, berries, or kiwi provide fiber and natural sweetness without overloading on calories.
5. Nuts and Seeds
A small handful of almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds can provide healthy fats and protein, helping to reduce late-night cravings.
6. Herbal Tea
Non-caffeinated herbal teas can be soothing, hydrate you, and help curb the desire to snack out of boredom.
7. Whole-Grain Crackers with Protein
Pairing whole-grain crackers with a slice of turkey or cheese balances carbs with protein, helping maintain fullness.
