Late Night HunGrrrrr!

[DeeBaby]

Hey everyone...just wondering if you guys can share some suggestions on how to prevent or overcome late night hunger and snacking...I am currently a student and my meal schedule is a little bit unorganized but I make sure I eat a higher carb breakfast, low carb meals and snacks throughout (and I mean throughout I am constantly snacking on something healthy usually celery or ricecakes especially when im studying) the weekdays, have carb days on Sundays and maintain my daily calorie intake of 2000...i also go to the gym daily and am in good shape...when I go to wind down from my day (usually around 11pm) all I want to do is snack and eat and I cant seem to fall asleep until I do! Im open minded to any suggestions

casein shake or low-fat cottage cheese? I don't get hungry at night, but I've heard that a slow-digesting protein helps with feeling fuller.

protein shake with all natural unsalted peanut butter. Good fats slow your digestion and keep you full.

I like a mix of both. casein shake with a little natural unsalted Peanut Butter. This will kill the hunger for you

Ok awsome! I will try out the all natural unsalted peanut butter....can someone tell me what a casein shake is?

casein protein is slower to digest so it is better to take at night. I have to go with everyone else, casein shake with low fat peanut butter.

Milk has both whey and casein proteins, the casein just is more slow digesting. it sustains you while you sleep. you can find it in a supplement store.
