If REALLY late at night? I brush my teeth, go to bed, and dream of a big breakfast. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

I learned that from some cats at the Needmore commune. Drain a can of chickpeas. While they are still wet, toss them in some chili powder and or garlic powder. Bake at 420 degrees..(they baked everything at 420 at Needmore) for half an hour or until brown and crunchy. www

Get your mind off your stomach. You'll be surprised at how quickly your mind gets itself off food. Then go to bed. Sorry to give you such crap advice, but it works. You'll feel so much better in the morning for having resisted.

rb Joined: 12/30/09 Posts: 85	RE: getting the munchies Posted Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 1:13 AM Good advice and if I was in Australia, I would do that all the time, even when not hungry! But here in New York, not only is it 19 degrees windchill; if you see even one star in the sky, that is an achievement. But I understand your general suggestion and thanks.

babalonia Joined: 01/04/10 Posts: 60	RE: getting the munchies Posted Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 11:26 AM Air popped popcorn, or microwave popcorn (like Paul Newman's) that has no dairy products in it. Then, melt a little bit of Earth Balance spread in the microwave, put some sea salt in it and then mix it in with the popcorn. It's YUMMY! Frozen berries (you can get big bags of them at Costco), microwaved for about 45 seconds, then mix chopped raw pecans into the berries (you can get big bags of raw pecans at Costco too). It's yummy and will take care of any cravings for sweet you might have. Carrot and celery sticks dipped into hummus. Salsa and low fat tortilla chips.

They line up in front of the couch patiently waiting for one of us to toss 'em a round. I have NEVER tried nutritional yeast flakes on it before, but having read it here, I can't wait for Friday. www
