What is the best late-night snack that will not ruin the day?
A small, planned one — yogurt, fruit, popcorn or cottage cheese on a crispbread, portioned on a plate before you sit down. The best snack is the one you log.

The best late-night snack is not a specific food, it is a small portion of a boring one. Berries or fruit, plain yogurt, a small bowl of popcorn, cottage cheese on a crispbread, tea — foods that satisfy the hand-to-mouth habit without quietly adding a meal's worth of energy.
Two rules do more than the choice itself. One plate rule: portion the snack onto a plate or bowl before sitting down — eating from the package is how a handful becomes half the bag. And the screen rule: food eaten in front of a screen is food the brain barely registers, and a diary entry that never gets logged.
Log it before you eat. A planned, logged snack is a diary's friend; the unlogged ones are where the hidden calories live.
