bedtime snacks

[jpt]

question for my fiance....she recently just started going to the gym after years of naturally being very fit. she always had a six pack but is noticing lately that she is not able to maintain that body without working out and eating right. her diet has been great...she eats 5 meals a day and it consists of chicken, yougurt, shakes, and tuna. when we relax at night she gets a little hungry though and i don't know what to tell her b/c i eat cottage cheese or walnuts or peanut butter before i go to bed...but she's just looking to get her fit figure back. i told her fruit is not a good option before bedtime. any suggestions ladies???

Before bed I like:

A handful (ie 1 ounce) of peanuts or almonds
1% cottage cheese topped with 1/2 or 1 ounce of slivered almonds or sunflower kernels
1-2 tblsp. of ANPB
Shake with 1 tblsp. of Flax Oil

Great choice....Eat protein and stay away from the carbs

As long as you/she can resist eating half the jar....

Protein + fat before bed.....

Where are the veggies? Where are the good carbs? Where are the fats? Sorry, but if this is all she eats, her diets SUCKS.

when we relax at night she gets a little hungry though and i don't know what to tell her b/c i eat cottage cheese or walnuts or peanut butter before i go to bed...but she's just looking to get her fit figure back.

Why can't she eat nuts? Why can't sge eat CC? Why can't sge eat
PB?


Men and women can diet the EXACT SAME .... Women just take smaller portions.

she eats spinach or green beans every night with her chicken....she also eats a banana and some strawberries with her shakes. her diet is fine....trust me.

I love my Optimum Nutrition Casein Whey shakes blended with ice, flax oil and soymilk (I'm using water now).

I find the Casein whey fills my stomach and I sleep like a baby.

Fats?

Sorry, years of experience here show me that when someone says their diet is fine - it ain't.

List up exactly what she eats and when .... might be the issue.

does your fiance know about this site? There is great information here that she can use, along with great people to get guidance and motivation from. I suggest you share this site with her if you haven't already. It's much easier to do it that way then do do the 3rd party information sharing thing. I guarentee she'll enjoy it.
