if you want to go to bed in a calorie maintenance you need to learn to ignore cravings for foods. feeling hungry doesn't mean you are starving lol.. it is your brain trying to trick you into eating. you really gotta get over it man. feeling hungry is proof that you are in a calorie deficit and you need to embrace it
a snack that you can eat that has little to no calories are no sugar pickles.

If your daily macros and calorie intake are fulfilled, there is no need to eat at night. I understand that it sucks to bear that feeling of hunger, but this is what it takes if you want to get into good shape. It does not really matter what time of the day you eat, but rather how much you end up eating each day, and if you train or not. Obviously, if you train at 9pm, then you definitely need to eat something after the workout. But if you don't, you may not need to eat.
Also, what you can do, is distribute the food throughout the day. Say you are having now 4 meals a day. Make it six smaller meals (which will have the same amount of calories), and add a meal in the evening. This will make things much easier, and you will get used really fast to eating less.

There is nothing wrong with eating before bed and in fact, eating before bed will help prevent catabolism while you sleep and keep you in an anabolic state. Research shows that eating a high protein meal before bed boosts muscle protein synthesis significantly.
Generally speaking, you want to eliminate carbs in your last meal before bed. Good before bed meals would be something like - some cottage cheese with some nuts and carrot sticks. Something high in protein, moderate in healthy fats and low in carbs.

If you are trying to stay lean then look at raw veggies as your snack. They are very low in calories and will fill up your stomach. Celery is a great option because it is mostly water anyways. You could also try having a non-caffeine tea late at night too.
