Protein

Protein plays a role in helping you feel satisfied. A study at the University of Washington School of Medicine found that participants felt less hungry when their daily protein intake was increased from 15 to 30% of their total calories. Eating lean sources of protein as part of a healthy diet was key to the findings.

In my opinion, never go to bed hungry. It will keep you awake. The calories you take in at night can be burned off later. Sounds crazy, but I have a large bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal (my favorite) with some fruit and plenty of non fat milk before I go to bed. Works for me...
