The late-night munchies are common knowledge to many of us. We can't sleep for some reason and we get up and start noshing n all kinds of food in the wee hours of the morning.

Now, small snacks like this are great during the day. The energy boost and small portions are great throughout periods of the day, and help you to not overeat at those main meals of the day. But hey, during the day, you're moving all around and your metabolism is in gear.

At night, this is not the case, and it makes late-night munching one of the worst things you can do for your waistline. Can't sleep? Get on the PC and read some blog entries -- just don't eat anything.
