I used to eat my tea/dinner at 6pm every night and was always starving by 9pmish.
Now I eat breakfast at 9am, lunch between 2 and 2.30pm and dinner/tea between 7.30 and 8pm
This has greatly stopped me getting hungry in the evenings
I Don, t work so these times help me.
The only trouble that I can have, I have bipolar and when I am on a big high, I rarely sleep for a few days at a time and I then do start to feel hungry during the night, but I do think that's due to boredom

I guess it depends what you are eating for your evening meal. If it is too carb rich, hunger can quickly follow.

I eat some nuts, just a small handfull when hungry in the night, or sometimes chew some sugarfree gum to have something to distrackt me...

Yes. If I get accumulative higher bgs as the day progresses I get a carb craving. You @Darren692 ?
