Eat before bed

[dfoca]

Hello guys. Any one could help with a doubt here ? I usually have dinner at 07:00pm, but before bed, around 10:00pm sometime I get hungry, I used to eat pop corn. Is this fine, or there are other options that I should consider ?

You can have popcorn if your macros/goals allow for it, but there is benefit to eating protein before bed.

[chamelious]

What is your concern exactly? What do you mean, is it "fine"?

[AdamWW]

Only if you put butter and salt on it

When you eat doesn't matter. As long as you don't go over your calories, you're fine.

I'm trying to maintain my weight so the pop corn should not affect at all. What kind of protein food do you suggest ?

I'm trying to maintain weight, but I'm not sure what to eat if I get hungry 3 hours after dinner.

I usually have ice cold milk and some oreo cookies. They forever go together like a classic combination.

I usually use 'orégano', I don't know how to write it in English. But, it's great to eat that kind of food, or must I eat other one ?

No love for da cheese brah

Eat at whatever time you want. The old myth about eating before bed causing weight gain is and always was nonsense. Just hit your calorie/macro goals.

You made my day my friend

Eat before bed to help with gaining weight.

If you are cutting you should not be eating a lot before basically laying in one spot for 8 hours.

Eating popcorn even without salt sounds Sounds like breathing without lungs

It will affect if you ate too much of other foods earlier in the day or if you eat alot of popcorn, but only you know that. Weigh yourself weekly, first thing in the morning and after the bathroom and watch the scale. Its most often only too many calories that will cause you to gain weight. The good part for you is, popcorn is a snack that is on the lower end of calorie range, especially without butter.

The best protein source before bed is a slow digesting one so foods like greek yogurt, cottage cheese or a casein protein shake. You can also create a similar effect by adding some fat with your desired protein source. For example, eating a salad with olive oil and chicken breast.

Word of caution though, if you've been eating popcorn every night and maintaining your weight, adding an additional protein meal in your diet (compared to what you already eat) may put you over your maintenance calories. You can beat this by eating less/smaller protein portions earlier in the day (or fats and carbohydrates).

AdamWW: popcorn with melted milk chocolate drizzled over is even better brah . I've seen it sold in stores this way as well.

10:00pm sometime I get hungry

Well you can do as you prefer. Some folks would eat more throughout the day if eating at 10pm was not convenient. Others (like me) always eat a late evening meal. It's the total nutrititional value of all the food you eat, and it's quantity of energy that matters. When you eat your meals is of little importance in terms of weight maintence beyond preference and satiety.

Try not to make this too complicated. There aren't any magic "Nightime foods."

If you doesn't feel discomfort - it's okay. But as for me i feel heaviness in the stomach when i eat before bed

What are you basing these claims on?
