im no pro but i work out at night also, due to school and work, i used to religious about getting 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per pound and controlling carbs when cutting, i took a chance after reading tons and tons not only on this site but many others on how much protein is overrated...try controlling your overall daily calorie count to lose weight and eat some of what you want along with heathly meals. workouts are just as intense if not more, feel better all day and eat what i want as long as its in calorie range. say your RMR is 2000 calories daily just to function, split that into 6 meals, around 334 in each meal, plus your protein shake after workout around 100 to 150 calories, so no your up to 2150 calories, you workout for 1 an to 2 hours, so say you burn around 500 calories from that...you can lose weight from just that and if you workout enough it will give you some cardio...take it for what you what, just trying to help enlightin that you dont always have to eat 12 ounces of meat and salad all the time enough that its good for some meals especially when your stomach is growling for a big meal.
meal 1-Protein in water, Bannana, 2 peices toast with low sugar jam
meal 2-peanut butter jelly sandwich, low sugar jam
meal 3-6oz chicken, some broccoli or can of green beans
meal 4-2 tablespoons peanut butter, bannana, cup of no sugar added applesauce
meal 5-same as meal 3
meal 6-2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 small glass fat free milk
should get enought protein/fats/carbs, i believe in eating fats before bed since taking up to 4 or 5 hours to digest along with some casein in milk. as long as your in your calorie range shouldnt have to worry about storing as fat...try it for yourself works great i believe
