Looking for ideas for nighttime snacks to help with junk food cravings

I eat 1 really small bowl of potato chips. (I have a special bowl I use). I eat one tiny bowl of potato chips a day. If you are wondering I’m around 11% bodyfat right now. Can’t lift so it’s been diet and cardio.
I don’t see any point in torturing myself by not eating any junk food, but what I do is really control the portion.

Even on a cut. Last real cut I ate 4 pcs of popcorn twists a day (ok some days I got carried away and ate 8).

I like cottage cheese, but I only eat it plain with salt and pepper, too lazy to add more stuff, lol.

When i eat junk it’s popcorn or chips. Drives my wife nuts because I weigh them so if i have 200 cals of chips, i reduce other foods by 200 cals so no net effect.
 
I like chicken wings as something that feels like it's junk. I just stay away from sauces with sugar in them.

Yep, that’s the way to do it.
If I eat my wifes baking, I calculate in the calories and reduce carbs.

Gotta enjoy life a bit.

I never count beer calories though, lol. Mind you I only have 3 a week on one day.

Lawerys seasoning salt and some Cool Runnings jerk spice. You can buy the Cool Runnings jerk seasoning at Costco.
You’ll have jerk chicken wings without the extra sauce calories.

Same seasoning majes great back ribs or pork chops

I make them that way once a week on the pellet smoker. Cook them for 1.5 hours at 250 then last 30 minutes or so, depending on crispyness, 350.

Try it with peanut butter powder and some cinnamon if you have it on hand. It’s so so so good. I accidentally stumbled on it while stoned one night and I’ve eaten it every night since. I can’t go a night without it now

Lol
I’ll have to buy some peanut butter.

I’m a really boring plain eater. It may be too fancy for me 😂

After all the years eating my mom's jerk chicken on a weekly basis I can't say I'm that fond if it anymore 😂

Man, I'm so ready for BBQ season after reading that.
 
My last meal of the day is always the wife.

A little lemon water afterwards for hydration.
 
Honestly what someone once told me for the midnight sugar cravings was to eat a Banana, its not a succulent chocolate bar lol But oddly it did work everytime I tried it . It was more so the self discipline to eat a Banana instead. My brains yelling just 1 chocolate or flakie wont hurt lol . 10 mins later whole box is gone and nothing but sweet regret after that .
