Typical response of the body.

Try eating more through the day that way you're not in a deficit after workouts.

Drink whey after the meal, it will give you a "full" feeling more so than caesin, even though caesin takes longer to digest.

You're definitely not the norm. Casein is much thicker and expands in your gut. Whey is very fast acting and I'm always hungry after taking it.

Casein makes me very full.

If you're lifting weights or doing cardio for more than 30 minutes at night, then your body is going to be burning calories more rapidly till you go to sleep, which is a bad time for your cravings to hit. Maybe the problem is you're just not eating enough at dinner, or it could be what you're eating that's not filling you up (phrasing). Make sure your body gets plenty of protein post workout, leafy green vegetables (couple handfuls of spinach/kale), and water.
I've had the same issues with late night snacking, and what's worked best for me is adding more vegetables and drinking more water, then I'll take a 500mg Niacin capsule about 30 mins before bed and it's made a significant difference.
It also has a lot to do with mind-over-matter, so if your house is loaded up with a bunch of unhealthy snacks, then you're probably going to overindulge.
