About after-dinner snacking
Is dessert after dinner always a problem?
No. Planned dessert can be fine. This page targets the unplanned raid when you’re already full.
What if I’m still hungry?
Then eating may be reasonable. The check is for autopilot — not for ignoring real hunger.
What should I choose after the check?
Skipped it, Not now, Smaller portion, or Ate it anyway — all count if you decided on purpose. There is no wrong button.
How is this different from late-night snacking?
Same tool, earlier clock. After-dinner is often habit + sweet tooth; late-night stacks fatigue too.
