Grapes / Fruits Before Bed?

[LordZed]

I usually eat some grapes or strawberrys before bed just to kill the hunger. I'm clean bulking. I hate cottage cheese so can't eat that. Fruits before bed okay? Should I eat alot of carbs before bed, like a peanut butter/jelly sandwich or pasta, because I just can't seem to be gaining any weight. For the past 2 weeks i've been at a constant 162-163.

yup, some fruit before bed is fine.

I don't agree with swallowing sugars of any significant value before bed especially fructose

u don't need sugar before bed, but i believe u need carbs..
i eat oatmeal with milk 2 hours before bed...sleep like a baby
..if i eat only protein with fat and veggies before bed..then i wake up a lot during the night

[gjohnson5]

oats , yams and green veggies are a good replacement for fruits. The oats (whole grain) will be filling due to the fiber.

Yes that whole grain oats , not instant oatmeal

id perfer if u got a caesin protein at least before u hit the sack.. a glass of milk wont hurt.. and have a little bit of fat along with ur oatmeal if u dont mind to slow down the digestion so it sticks in ur stomach longer over night

how about some oatmeal
a cup of milk
and some almonds on the side?

thats a great meal to have before going to bed

Thanks guys. I'm also going to go purchase some fish oils today? Where can I find them? Are there any specific brand that I have to buy?

Also how many times a day (and when) do I take them?

[alexrichards]

nothing wrong with that!

if u want to eat fruit then eat it.....dont worry about the sugar levels the health pros greatly outweigh the cons .....just make sure u get soem protein like they said preferably casein for slow absorption....

I already take in 2 Protein Whey Shakes a day? Do I have to invest in a Casein one too now and take it only before bed?

I was wondering is it better to eat grapes an hour before bed, or if its better to eat egg whites and turkey bacon an hour before bed? Im trying to lose weight and am watching my calorie intake.

It's better not to bump 6 year old threads.

Anyway, are you asking the Internet to tell you which foods you prefer?

Omega-3 capsules, buy from your local health store or online.
