I am totally with you on this one! Nighttime munchies are a huge problem for me and something I am still struggling with. I've found that "front loading" my diet during the day helps a little--basically just eating more calories in the morning/afternoon. I try to have a substantial lunch and a snack around 3-4pm to keep me from eating a ton of food for dinner (and after). And yet just the other night I found myself ravenous at 8:00 and reached for the tortilla chips and salsa...ugh. Tea and water do help, but sometimes it's extremely hard to stave off those cravings. On more than one occasion I've gone to bed early to keep myself out of the pantry!
