Do you think there is such thing as too much broccoli? It takes a ton of food to fill me so i usually make a huge salad of broccoli, lettuce, chicken and some low cal/fat free dressing for lunch and dinner. Should I even pay attention to the cals or worry about it? Is it ok to consume a large amount within a few hours of bed?

You can eat too much of anything. I also wouldn't advise eating that type of carb right before bed. Oh, and I hope you're not married...for God sakeOriginally Posted by Fingerz

why wouldnt I be able to eat it before bed? I usually eat around 6:30-7:00, then have some cc around 9, then hit the sack to be up at 4 to workout (yeah my schedule sucks). With it being high in fiber wouldnt it be an ideal carb source if I was to consume carbs late in the day?

Broccoli is fine before bed, or anytime. The reason he said not before bed, was probably the gas/bloating factor broccoli causes. I eat TONS of broccoli and other vegetables, and I am fine.

Eat up. Its indoles help offset the estrogenic effect of the parabens in the shampoo that you rub into your head every time you take a showerOriginally Posted by Fingerz
Carbs are fine before bed for some people and/or under certain conditions.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Not every shampoo has parabens, right? I've seen them labeled on some, but not on others.
