If you find that you're hungry late at night, here are some suggestions. First, you want foods that are digested slowly and unlikely to cause indigestion or produce insulin surges which reignite hunger. Go for 100 to 150 calorie snacks that have at least three to four grams of fiber and some protein. Some good options are: a cup of sliced strawberries and a dozen almonds, or a slice of whole-wheat toast or five small whole wheat crackers topped with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. And while air-popped popcorn doesn't cut it in the fiber or protein department, it can satisfy the need to much mindlessly without wrecking your waistline. Downing two cups will only cost you about 60 calories.
