I agree with ydiez, the food urges are common and will continue to transform as your running progresses to longer miles, increased speed, schedule, timing and so on. 

One scientific explanation is that the body craves carbs, for example, due glycogen stores that are depleted quickly from the muscles during running.  Of course, it is difficult to make the right choices because sometimes we feel like just eating a quick form of sugar and starch.  The best choice is a quality protein combined with a moderat carb 30 to 60 minutes following intense exercise, so pre-planning snacks will help a great deal. 

Good options include things like granola bars, a handful of dried fruit with nuts, a few slices of turkey with wasa flatbread, a blueberry smoothie with banana, samon/tuna with ak-mak crackers and things along those lines.  Again, the key is the combination and looking at overall calories based on the length and energy utilized for the workout. 

If you are craving crunchy sweets, then combine a small portion of pretzels with raisins or dried cranberries and take a look at some of the well-balanced power bars. 

Eating late at night is a troublesome, so I understand your concerns.  I would say go with the blended fruit or vegtable drinks first.  Another good option is carrot juice (add pure apple juice for a natural sweetner).  It is better pre-run than recovery...otherwise you will be awake all night. 

Wishing you all the best

I get like that so what I do is before I head out I place a glass of water and a piece of fruit so that when I come in the door it is there, but I don't eat it right away, I wait to see if it is actually a hunger feeling or a mental feeling. I did a fair amount of reading on this and then actually calculated my calories burned and was shocked to discover that my 30-50 minutes of run walking actually only burned like 300-500 calories which if I remember right is like eating one bigmack at mcdonalds lol I am not saying that I eat there but putting that intop my perspective opened up my eyes allot so I really watch my caloriy intake. now like I meantions I have a glass of water , a peice of fruit and on some days I replace the fruit with 1 real cup of home made plain yogurt. my home made yogurt is not very thick I like to drink it.

now on some days after my run I do't feel hungry for up to an hour after my run.
