I eat protein, no carbs....before I go to bed. Either a chicken breast or lean beef.

Protein shake or chicken breast

a few hard boiled egg whites... fast, and you can control the portion size easily.

JUST LIE TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU CHEAT AND EAT SOMETHING. TELL YOURSELF "I AM GOOD", EVEN WHEN YOU AINT, JUST LIKE I DO.

240 is an established LIAR on getbig. Stay away from any/all advice he hands out.

Eggwhites, or a shake. Depending on what your intake throughout the day was, a little peanut butter.

What about drinking a Caseinate Protein shake?

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #9 on:** May 14, 2005, 10:39:20 PM »

Or if you take up Big MOFO on his advice you'll be getting:
15 calories (serving size 1-2 tble spoons)
ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
antigens - proteins that stimulate the production of antibodies
calcium
chlorine
cholesterol
choline
citric acid
creatine
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
fructose
glutathione - the frontline: an important protein that kills free radicals
hyaluronidase - protein that breaks-up acid, to lower the viscosity and increase the permeability of connective tissue and the absorption of fluids
inositol - an alcohol that is a component of vitamin B
lactic acid
magnesium
nitrogen
phosphorus
potassium
purine - special alkalies, or bases that when mixed with acids create various types of salt
pyrimidine (this is basically the smell - organic compound)
pyruvic acid - a colorless acid that aids in metabolism or fermentation
sodium aka pure salt
sorbitol - A sugar alcohol (sweetener) with 4 calories per gram
urea - the chief solid component of mammalian urine; amazingly and stupidly, this is synthesized from ammonia and carbon dioxide to be used as fertilizer, in animal feed and in plastics
uric acid - tasteless, odorless crystalline product of protein metabolism; found in both blood and urine
vitamin B12
zinc

IMO you should be having a meal after 7pm....

I would have 250-300gms of chicken or steak with a small (200gm-ish) can of baked beans and 250gms vegetables (frozen in the microwave is easy). Stay away from carbs IMO.

water · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2005, 07:37:54 AM »

maybe you answered this, but what time do you go to sleep? then maybe you can time a meal before bed. me personally if i drink a shake before bed, i usually do it an hour before i go to sleep. this way ill piss before i go to sleep, and i dont wake up in the middle of the night. try to get a slow digesting protien if you go this route.

what ive been doing lately is just eating some chicken before i go to sleep. this way you can have it right before bed. i have a big container of the stuff already cooked, and i just weight out about 4 oz. no carbs, just plain chicken. also, you dont have to worry about the middle of the night piss.

a can of tuna is also cool. if you eat some egg whites, just keep in mind the protien process's really fast.
also, in the past ive boughten roast beef from the deli just to have it before i go to sleep.

When starving before bed.....

I usually drink a liter of water & have a protein shake (usually milk & some slow digesting protein with a little fiber) or I'll have two cans of chicken with hot sauce.

Dieting sucks bro. If you've had your daily max caloric intake for weight loss you're gonna have to find something with little or no cals. Sometimes when dieting I also wake up hungry as f.uck and I try to fill up on sugar free jello or celery/lettuce.

Btw, you should be eating right before going to bed providing you're sticking to your caloric intake. Spread out your meals.

I'll also sometimes eat a handfull of almonds as well...YUM!

You should opt for protein, that's a given, but if you arn't cutting or if you are bulking and not worried about fat/carbs you can eat almost whatever you want (with consideration)

Mick33 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2006, 03:21:37 PM »

1 Cup of lowfat cottage cheese. mmmmm.

NoCalBbEr · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:57:44 PM »

This no carb thing after 7pm and before bed thing is pure nonsense. I regularly reach for the oatmeal or have a protein/carb bar before bed sometimes right before gettin in bed. Face it your goin 8 hrs without food so you might aswell get something in you for sustained energy release. It means i don't wake up during the night hungry and i'd rather have undisturbed sleep than wake up mid way and chug a shake or whatever. Oh and i'm cuting now and losing bf has never been easier.

Translation: carbs before bed are fine (just no ludicrous amounts)

You need to have some string beans, maybe a salad, perhaps some Flaxseed/Fish oil to slow down the absorbtion of just the protein alone. Your body is absorbing it too fast which is why you are hungry.

davie · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2006, 01:11:28 PM »

Il go for can of tuna (eat it out the tin), Or cup of cottage cheese. or chicken breast.
I had turkey in bread crumbs for T 2nite with carrot and boiled potatoes+glass of milk. About 2 hours after that im gonna have bit of turkey in bread crumbs by itself (no more carbs) and a protein shake. Next meals about 10 hours away.
