I ate dinner about 2 hours ago. I have this pang in my stomach that feels like I'm hungry, but I know I'm not. I eat pretty well, I just get these cravings for food before I go to bed. What's the best thing to do? I used to eat until I felt satisfied, but I'm thinking about eating an apple instead.

Go ahead. Have that apple. It's not going to hurt you.

Believe it or not your thirsty. One of the reasons people eat too much is because the feeling for being thirsty feels a lot like feeling hungry. Your body craves water just the same as it craves food, vitamins, etc. . . It's not always a dry mouth thaat tells you your thirsty. With so many other options on what to drink people dehydrate their body without even knowing it. Especially coffee and red bull. With just a 2% decrease in fluids people can experience headaches. Remember our body's are 70% water and so our diets should reflect this with vegetables like iceberg lettuce also fruit. Water also helps keep your skin feeling young.

So, eat an apple. You cold also drink a large glass of water. I always feel hungry at bedtime, even though I know I'm not. =(

What you have is your appetite. Have you recently restricted your diet? Are you exercising more? It might be because of that that you have hunger pangs.
Drink a glass of water when you get a hunger pang, and relax for 10 minutes...read or watch t.v. or anything to get your mind off of being hungry. Sometimes when you get pangs, it's because your body is thirsty and not hungry.
I hope you feel better!

Just eat a light snack to cover up that craving and then go to sleep. The apple would be a good and healthy choice.

Just eat the apple. It's not to filling and isn't unhealthy. When that happens to me, I drink water and just go to bed. That usually works for me.

nothing wrong with an apple. That's healthy right. Or how about some carrots? Soon you will feel satisfied.
