This was a big one to change for me, especially since those late night snacks are typically junk food. During the week I try to go from 6 PM (after dinner) to 10:30 AM the next morning, with an apple and a healthy-ish granola bar for breakfast at that time every day. A little bit looser on the weekends with the rules (since I'm less scheduled in general) but it does make a huge difference. It helps to shift your mentality around being hungry too -- as in, you don't need to put something in your mouth at the first sign of needing a snack. It's okay to let yourself get actually hungry (to a point, of course).
