| Taking in calories at night
I have lowered my caloric intake to about 1200 calories a day to help me lose weight in conjunction with exercise. I usually eat like fruit and granola, or yogurt for breakfast (under about 200 calories), and usually a can of tuna with light mayo (under 200 calories) for lunch, some veggie snacks between meals, and a dinner under 400 calories. I am a student and usually stay up until 1 or 2 am, so of course I need to snack at night as well because I naturally get hungry and am hypoglycemic. I CAN'T sleep unless I eat because I get sweaty, dizzy and those other hyploglycemic symptoms. The snacks I usually eat are usually healthy and under about 200 cals, but is this really hurting my weight loss goals? Does anyone know what I can do to stop me from eating at night ( I can't possibly go to bed earlier because I get off work late and have to study). Should I be eating more calories during the day and less at night? Is 1000 cals during the day too little? Any advice would be much appreciated! thanks
