How To Avoid Binge Eating At Night:

1. Make sure you eat enough calories throughout the day. When you skip meals or when you under-eat, your body starts craving for those calories at night. 

2. Reduce the time between dinner and bedtime. Ideally two to three hours works; however, if it’s longer, your body starts craving for food.

3. Eat nutrient-dense snack. There is no harm in snacking. Just make sure you are mindful and eat only nutrient-dense food.

Nmami pointed out that it is okay to have a snack. However, it is very important that when snacking, you should opt for foods with high fibre and protein content. It is equally important that you are eating slowly and in small portions.
