Still struggling to get it right

I am still struggling with night time eating. I did not go as overboard last night but still ate more than was on my daily plan. I even read and worked on my knitting in a effort to keep from thinking about food. I know I was not hungry. Wished I could find something that had little or no calories or carbs that would satisfy my need to eat. So far have found nothing that worked. Have in the past even tried ice, gum, celery but nothing seems to be that effective.
