how soon before bed should one not eat

[puddlemonkey]

I eat something semi-healthy right before bed. If I don't eat I can't sleep, and sleep is more important than eliminating the 150-250 calories from my diet.

Another thing about the carbs is that esp if you are on a very clean diet, the carbs can make you stay awake and then crash. I tend to not feel good after carbs unless I'm up and around.

If you do eat carbs later in the day just try to make them complex and fibrous over simple/starchy..

Like everyone already said, the average person will have ice cream or some candies after dinner instead of our green beans and chicken breast

As I'm sure someone already beat me to this, but..experimentation is the key here..

I literally eat on my pillow as instructed. this is my 4th meal since I am done training which falls around 915pm, training ends at 630pm....so its about 250 carbs in 3 hours....yowwwww.......

I am scheudled to have 8oz of flank and 3 egg whites. About 50g of protein and 20g of fat....today I'll have 6oz of dry curd 2tb of pb and some mashed up walnuts....same difference but its a fat meal.

Then, if I ever wake up during the night, I am suppose to eat protein, usuing just a blend of pudding and casein. I got to get some more protein delite....shit is the BOMB!

Jen - What's On Your Prebed Menu?

98% of the time I have 2 tblsp. of ANPB, crunchy....

Sometimes tho, I have cottage cheese + sliced almonds or a handful of nuts.....But I prefer the PB....

That is a great combo, I do the same but add a little chocolate protein powder to it to satisfy my sweet tooth. Sounds gross but it gives it a great texture.

pretty much what I do sometimes...either flank steak or 6oz dry curd with tb of pb

I tried that once & found it to be the most disgusting thing ever!! Just can't eat cottage cheese + protein powder! Bleh!

Actually its not bad as long as you get out the hand blender and whip it all together... besides that its not too tasty...
Another good one is protein powder and some SF/FF jell-o though, NOW that is tasty PLus you can add in whatever else (a TBL of PB, chopped nuts, etc)
