lack of food discipline

I can't kick my evening sweet tooth.

and I have trouble avoiding unhealthy calories after exercising.
most important thing to build is discipline, (not a race, but a marathon mindset) any advice would be very appreciated.

I'm the same way with a late night sweet tooth. The last few weeks I have made it a priority to get at least 200g of protein/day and that has definitely helped since I feel more full. A lot of nights I have to eat a protein bar to get my final 20 grams in and it's a lot easier to say no to the sweet stuff.

I have the same issue. Just have to use a lower calorie option to satisfy the urge if it's an everyday thing. Fruit, flavored rice cakes...there are some kettle/caramel popcorn options that are pretty good.

start prioritizing protein. eat before and after the workout. if you fill up on leanish protein....you wont be hungry for unhealthy items
or
and hear me out here....stop labeling foods as healthy and unhealthy...make sure you are in a caloric deficit, you have had 1g protein per lbs of bodyweight and you eat what ever you want with the rest of the calories....and get out of the unhealthy habit of labeling foods as healthy and unhealthy....

Clio mini frozen yogurt bars. 60 calories, 4g protein. Perfect for the sweet tooth at night.

Evening sweets are killer
My key was to find something that scratched the itch but had a better profile
First it was a small dark chocolate, but only one - that can get out of hand easily
Then it evolved into plain nonfat Greek yogurt with a chocolate-flavored protein powder mixed it. Filling, protein, and curbed the sweet craving.
But every once in a while have to get a real milkshake

The absolute most important thing is to not have any of that junk in your house. Don’t buy it saying it will be a great at some point as a reward (you will just eat it)
That is the mindset of someone who is on a diet. If you want lasting change you aren’t on a diet. You are changing the way you eat. Get rid of it and never buy it again. There are lower sugar, smaller proportion bars and even ice cream in the freezer aisle if you must. Really try and find fruit you like. Throw it in non fat Greek yogurt or just eat it plain. Satisfy sugar cravings with fruit only is basically how I live these days. Track your calories…

You should try being married to a pastry chef.

I'm ordering me some casein protein to make some protein pudding.

Try some Olympic smegma like all the fat people are taking now. Supposed to curb your appetite.

Good stuff already said.
I’ll add it’s also about total calories for the day so you need to make sure you know what your caloric goals are.. TDEE calculator if needed.
You can ease up throughout the day if you need extra calories at night.
I had the biggest sweet tooth on the planet. A JIF to-go peanut butter cup and a protein shake did the trick for me. It’s 370 total calories but my caloric daily deficit remained and I eventually curbed my sweets craving.

Brush your teeth after dinner.

My biggest thing is not sipping on a glass of bourbon. I like to relax while all the kids are in the their rooms and the wife is busy with doctoral school work. So I'm trying to find other shite to occupy my time.....

It’s this for me.
It’s hard enough to make good choices especially when I’m tired at night. Having lots of sweets will inevitably lead to bingeing. It’s amazing how easily my brain will lose control of what I actually want in life.

In skimming the thread it looks like the major stuff has already been hit, but to second some opinions:
1) Prioritize protein throughout the day. Protein is incredibly satiating so you'll find yourself fuller and cravings reduced.
2) Make your evening snack something that is still somewhat sweet but contributes to the protein, like a protein bar, shake, or even a CLIF bar.
3) If you're hitting your protein goals, don't sweat the snacks. I top off my night with a bowl or two of cinnamon toast crunch a few times a week. No big deal, eating right isn't all or nothing.
4) Some people sleep bad like this, but it helps me - carbonated water. Can of spindrift or lacroix in the evening (Maybe cup of decaf is more to your liking) helps to curb my cravings. Particularly booze cravings, but it helps keep me away from the cereal too haha.

I replaced it with lower calorie options and it helped. I'll often eat a halo orange or some strawberries. Lately I've been baking an acorn squash and adding a bit of cinnamon and some stevia.

evening sweet tooth
I do sugar free jello/pudding cup with some sugar free whip on top a couple nights a week
Eta: the Chobani flip greek yorgurts are pretty good if you have a couple more calories to spare

Same. And Halloween is here so I have candy bowls around my house, all asking me what the harm is in eating a few here and there. I guess I'm going to have to add more mileage to my runs.
