Bed Time Snack?
Yesterday I talked about how eating late at night is not
necessarily a bad thing. Today we are going to touch
on what foods you should eat though when you are eating
late at night.
I hope you didn't take it as your ticket to go eat cake
and ice cream late at night and if you did, it's time
to get back to reality for a bit.
Did you really think losing weight was that easy?
Unfortunately it's not. When I said you could eat
late at night I did leave out the part about how
you should eat things that is predominantly protein
and low in carbohydrates and fat.
Why?
The reason being you want to help your muscles repair
while you're at rest and feeding it protein will
definitely help to get that done.
Why no carbs? Carbohydrates are key for helping
you get the energy needed to perform the duties
of the day BUT when you're going to sleep how much
energy does that really require?
Try stick to things like a spoon or two of peanut
butter, a protein shake, a boiled egg, things that
are high in protein but low on carbs. Also
just to avoid an upset stomach try to keep it
on the light side.
