Evening snack...

[punkin2004]

Just wondering if y'all could tell me whether or not this is a decent evening snack...I've been having a protein shake and a salt-free rice cake (it has only 7 carbs) and 1 tbsp. of PB with it...is that all right? I have it aroung 8ish, go to bed around 10ish. I just didn't want to continue with that if it was just gonna' go to my waist...

Thanks

sounds ok to me ; I know some of the ladies might tell you to remove the rice cake ; but I actually have no problems with carbs before bed. I actually have carbs with almost all of my meals and its been fine even prebed meals.

Sounds okay. Cottage Cheese is a good pre-bed snack too.

Try making some protein pancakes!!

1-2 Egg whites
1 Scoop Whey Protein
Pam Spray


Mix Eggwhites and protein powder in a small bowl.. spray pam in a flat non-sticking pan, pour the eggwhites and protein powder mixture to heated pan..
and flip after few minutes..

add All Natural Peanut Butter, and some sugar free syrup!!!

I used to have cottage cheese before bed or jello....

YUM!

I can't stand CC either, but most people love it which is why I recommended it.

Any protein/fat mix with minimal carb is fine. Even a small piece of chicken/turkey and some almonds .... or something similar. Just keep it on the small side.

Thats all I used to eat! CC with blueberries! It was something I craved for breakfast, Sometimes I used to eat it 3/4times a day! Hmm.. It might be nice mixed in with jello....

Actually maybe not....

Thanks for the ideas...mucho appreciated. With the rice cake and 1 tbsp. of PB, it's like ~14 carbs...the protein has maybe 1-2 grams...would that be low enough or do you suggest lower than that?

I tried this today. It was great. I used 3 eggs whites and a little water.
