Late night meals

[FFQuads]

Well, I just got back from a house fire here at the Fire Deparment. We've been out for about 3 hours. One hour of high heat (about 400 F) with bunkers on and breathing air. The other two cleaning up. When this happens to me late at night I get back and eat a bar and a fruit. About 350-400 cal. and 40 carb. 15 fat. I'm on a lower cal. and carb. diet right now and it has me concerned about this late night meal. Do you think it's just a wash with all the cal. etc. I've burn in the last 3 hours or am I hurting my diet?

Why not eat a good serving of protein and essential fatty acids? Cottage cheese with some all-natural peanut butter maybe.

I don't see inherently wrong with eating carbs as you just used a bunch of glycogen while working, but definetly get a good serving of protein in.

Nothing wrong with the carbs or calories unless your purposely on a CKD. My last meal is usually after my workout at around 1:30 am lately. As long as it fits into your overall calorie levels for the day you're fine.

Bar has about 30 grams of protein...I forgot to add it.
