Although you: Are "eating for 2" you do not have to eat double. You do need to eat a healthy diet. If your late night cravings lead 2unhealthy junk food snacks, i would suggest trying to eat better meals during the day and making sure you have enough protein in your diet before bed.

Be healthy: Eating for 2 is a myth - better to maintain your health - stay active physically, mentally, socially and spiritually, eat a good diet (mediterranean), exercise, a late night snack is ok if light, such as a cracker or a small amount of cereal.
