Late night snack?

[shamnas]

Hi there,

Do you have a snack before going to bed?
If so, how close to going to sleep do you eat a snack at night?

Just curious. I typically have dinner at 7:00 but sometimes need a snack at 9:00. I usually go to bed at 10:00 or 11:00.

Thank you,
Shan

I If I am hungry for a snack before bed it's usually around 9ish and I go to sleep between 10 and 11.

I always eat around 8 p.m., that is my last meal. My problem is getting something without a lot of carbs. Right now I drink my protein shake and I also like the Protein Crunch cereal by Nature's Trail. But both are so HIGH in carbs.

If anyone has any good snack ideas for the evening that is low in carb, please share. I wonder if there is a such thing as a healthy low carb cereal - I LOVE cereal!

I usually have a PM protein shake before bedtime (usually about 2-3 hours before bedtime..this way I don't have nightmares) LOL! The shake has 40g of protein in it and really makes you feel like you have a brick in your stomach as it is quite filling, but only has 2g of fat and is low carb. You will not want to eat anything else until you go to bed after that shake...trust me!!!! LOL!

I follow BFL and eat right before going to bed. A typical 40/40/20 meal about 200-250 cals.

Thanks for all the replies.

I usually have yogurt with applesauce or cottage cheese with apple sauce. If I have anything too heavy I can really feel it, but if i don't have anything I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night hungry.
