i've noticed on the menu planners posted recently that people haven't included suppers. to be honest, it didnt really surprise me, as it isnt a meal im in the habit of partaking in.
however, since my workload and activity levels have gone up recently (and im often awake later too), i find that if i dont eat "supper" around 8 o clock, im starving in a few hours (by which time its too late to eat, so i go to bed hungry and wake up feeling to sick to eat because im so hungry).
obviously this isnt something that can go on, so i need to think about making a point of having supper. but never having been a supper person, im at a loss for ideas.
i was wondering if you lovely people can sugest some ideas of things which will fill the hole without overstimulating me?

I always have toast or a piece of fruit as an evening snack. Unless I'm at work then its a bar of chocolate. Not really a supper though. :S0

Never really thought of putting it down.
We normally in the evening have something like a sandwich/toastie, piece of HM quiche or cheese and crackers. Its always savoury though:D

Ive stopped eating in the evening since ive been trying to loose weight. Was advised that eating too late at night isnt good for you, so now i try to eat before 6pm, and will have a milky drink before bed!!!!0

what I do is just eat dinner later. I have lunch at 1.30-2ish (lecture-time dependent) and then dinner at 7.30-8ish. So, when I toddle off to bed at 12ish I'm not hungry.
I decided this was better than eating dinner at 6.30ish and then eating biscuits and icecream at 10.30

We don't have a traditional "light supper" but, for those times when the nibblies strike (usually at a Friday/Saturday when the lads stay up later) I vary my tactics.
Fruit is always available for picking on.
Or, depending on our schedule - we'll have a bowl of HM popcorn.
We enjoy hm hummous with crudites too.
Sometimes, especially for the lads, it's just the act of nibbling on something that satifies them rather any real hunger.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me too! Any time I get the munchies I usually head for the cereals. I very rarely have breakfast so my cereals are bought deliberately as snack food.saving-grace wrote:I often have a bowl of cereal as a late evening snack.

Me three! I always have cereal for breakfast (except for the odd bacon sandwich on a Saturday morning!) so have it in anyway.
For supper though, there's nothing I like better to eat than a weetabix (well, Morrison's own version) with Coco Pops on top. Yummy!0 -

)

i get really bad heartburn if i eat anything too close to bed anyway, not nice!founder of Frugal Genius UK (Yahoo Groups)0 -
We just eat dinner later! But on Sundays when our roast dinner is often eaten at about 4pm (after a late brunch) we might have something like tomatoes or beans on toast, or toasted pitta bread with hummus, nachos with grated cheese melted on the top, muffins or even left overs from Sunday lunch reheated. DH often has some soup - easy to heat and digest!GC Oct £387.69/£400, GC Nov £312.58/£400, GC Dec £111.87/£4000
