Great Question. This is a very common problem and there isn't a simple answer. However I can give you 3 tips that will help you out.

Tip #1 - Plan an after dinner snack. Plan what that snack will be in advance and the time for it. If there are 4 -6 hours between when you eat dinner, and when you go to bed, you should have a snack. That is too long to not eat. Planning the snack ahead also insures that you don't overeat, or eat multiple snacks. Also plan what time you will eat the snack, two hours before going to bed is ideal. This will help you stay in control. If one night you screw up go easy on yourself.

Tip #2 - Figure out if you are really hungry or are engaging in emotional eating. Often times we eat to deal with stress, boredom etc. Lets say you find out you are eating because you are bored, then you need to plan some fun activities for the night, things you enjoy. Maybe call a friend, go for a walk, take a shower, listen or dance to some music etc. Lets say you realize you eat because you are stressed out, then you need to figure out that stressful situation, point what it is that's stressing you out and take some action steps to fix it.

Tip #3 - Check out these two websites, they are filled with tips on how to stop eating junk food, fast food, and get your overeating under control:
