Bedtime snack...

F

Ladies/gents...I have a question about the right-before-bedtime snack...is a protein shake alright to have before a little shuteye...or would you suggest something else????

Thanks
 
I always eat a meal right before I sleep. Usually cottage cheese or meat though. Whey protein is absorbed too fast, but it's better than nothing.
 
Seratonin

I read (in a book about sugar addiction by a pretty nutty woman)
that if you have a carb before bed (she reccomended having a potato), as long as you have had protein at dinner - you will get a boost in seratonin. This boost may cause active & sometimes vivd bad dreams.

I had a mini-carb binge before bed last night (didn't want any more fish or cottage cheese, so I had low fat wheat thins & grapes) & had awful vivid dreams (not typical for me - usually don't remember dreams at all!).

So... whey is probably better than carbs! :) Although real food protein is probably best of all.
 
As long as you stay within your calorie range, you should be fine. In fact, it's probably a good idea to eat before bed because you're not gonna eat for the next 8 hours or so.
 
I usually eat some peanut butter and all-fibery crackers.

I work out late, and I feel crappy if I don't get some protein/fat after.

Wyst
 
Thanks guys...I might have to start trying the turkey before bedtime...maybe it'll help me sleep better...
 
Question on the turkey... is lunch meat ok?
I thought I read it has additives... like sugar & salt.

I make turkey burgers & this aweome meat loaf with ground turkey, but I don't want to bake a whole bird. No way I'd eat it all before it went bad.

So how do you have your turkey?

Okay, I was going to go on my soap box earlier but decided to spare all of you.

I wouldn't eat TURKEY or lunch meat, unless the turkey is one you or a friend SHOT. When you go buy turkey at the GS, whether in the deli or "whole" in the frozen/refrigerated meats, look at the label. Ask the lady slicing it up behind the counter to show you the label off that lump. You will find turkey in the ingredients, but you will also find dextrose, water, corn syrup, and other sugars and preservatives. Same for chicken and beef.

Lunch meat is even WORSE!

Does that apply to ground turkey? I suppose I can go check the label at home.. but thought I'd ask.

:( I'm so sick of tuna, cottage cheese, & chicken as it is... I can't cut out a protein source!
 
Hey spatts...
I know this is a little off the subject, but when i'm eating my tuna, is it okay to eat it with a few crackers? say i get the lf ones?
 
Well, my goal is to lose bf, yes, but I would eat the crackers like before 6pm...is this still a no-no or would that be alright?

I just need a different way to eat my tuna...i can't eat it w/o anything by itself and I don't really know of a bread that is alright to eat it on.
 
Yes it's fine to have at night and no offense to the tuna lovers, but it tastes a whole lot better. One thing I'll never be able to eat is any sort of fish.
 
i actually always eat cottage cheese for my last meal every night. doesnt taste too bad either:)

i like it cause its light and i dont feel so full as if i ate meat. eeeeewwwwwwww

spatts -- thx for the turley info . i didnt know that..
 
had the best bedtime snack last nite...tuna with no carb low fat coleslaw dressing and lettuce. couldnt get enough of it!!!!!!!!
 
Can you have plain yogurt before bed? I never have yogurt but am considering it for the good bacteria for digestion in it.

Yogurt has carbs in it from milk though right? Do you consider this as a regular sugar?
 
When I said turkey sounds like a good idea, all I was thinking of was the sleep inducing chemicals it contains...... they always tell you after thanksgiving not to go lay down after eating turkey....you might not wake back up :)

Havent tried a wild turkey yet...... but turkey season here is right around the corner :D

I was very sad to see your post about turkey-
I cook a turkey breast every week to eat... it's like Thanksgiving without all the carbs :)

And believe me it is NOT a pretty sight...well kinda ;)

Its all about the numbers....as long as you can keep it down
:sick:
 
Hannibal...

That's the thing...I'd be afraid after holding my nose and stuffing tuna down the ol' "pie-hole", that it wouldn't stay down....ewwwwww....

and KB, dear, DEER is awesome!!!! Hey spatts...ever had elk??? DOUBLE AWESOME...that was the best meat i've ever eaten....:)
 
no, never had shark...
between me and the b/f, we can't fit another thing in our freezer because of all the deer meat...but we eat so much of it, that it'll be gone in a year...just in time to fill it up again.:)
do u have any yummy ways to fix your deer???
 
Woo hoo - Other chicks who go hunting - cool!

I haven't gone in a while & the only reason is cuz I don't feel like putting out the funds to invest in all the necessary gear (guns). I preferred pheasant hunting though.. I'd rather tear through the brush keeping an eye out than sit still & silent waiting. My ex b/f said I was an excellent "Bird Dog" flushing the pheasants out of the brush! :D

Yes, venison is tasty!

Spatts... I buy ground turkey that is 7% fat - Perdue makes & packages it - one other brand too I see sometimes that I can't recall the name of. I've purchased the 1% fat, but it was sooo DRY - ICK! That's usually the only way I ever have turkey. Is that what you buy?

As for free-range-organic meat, there is a chain of organic grocery stores, "Fresh Fields" here & they sell that type of meat. I never saw a need for it before, but maybe I'll consider buying it for baking turkey breast.
 
Spatts - Acidophollis gives me the silent but deadlies, BF does not appreciate it.

SO the yogurt carbs actually count as a true sugar then?
 
I've had shark & I'm an absolute nut for swordfish on the grill w/ ginger teriyaki marinade -- cuts like BUTTER.. but also not considered "environmentally correct" to eat... :( (swordfish being overfished, etc.) I also LOOOOOOOVE FL lobster tail -- my own catch! My favorite part is showing the tourists how to tail your lobster at the dock!

Thank God lobster is a little too rich to have often -- else there'd be major problems w/ (me) over-lobstering ....!

Goes good w/ steak on the grill too...................

....................mmmmmmmmmmmm surf n' turf!

I won't tail a cow tho....
