Can you give me a run-down on what you're eating and the quantities involved?
My biggest problem is late-nite munchies. Around 9 or 9:30 or so, I start getting the urge to pig out.

I hear you on the late night snacking. But if you have a snack mid morning, mid afternoon, and another one a few hours after dinner, you shouldn't get those late night cravings. Plus I drink a lot of water, 8 glasses/day at least is a must. And I simply don't allow myself to eat after 8pm. Counting your calories really helps you realize what you're putting into your body.
