Do you absolutely have to have a protein bar before bed? Can you have real food such as egg whites or grilled chicken breast & some veggies? That would be more ideal.
I'm on a competition diet at the moment & my trainer said that veggies are my free food & I don't have to measure them. Now I'm not going all out eating a zillion cups of it or anything, but...
You may be wasting the yolks, but it's hella cheaper than buying liquid egg whites at the grocery store! (rounded: $2 vs. $5... I'll take it!!) At least that's what I have seen anyway!
I was eating oatmeal in the off season, but now that I'm in contest prep mode, I've been downing cream of rice... I LOVE that stuff! Just mix it with some Splenda & it's yummy!!
Yeah, if you are competing, try to refrain from it, but if you're not, then sweetheart, go grab yourself some chocolate right now! It's important to have balance in your life. Just don't go nuts. ...

I purposely excluded natty PB out of my diet & get my healthy fats elsewhere otherwise I WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THE LID BACK ON!!!!!!! (don't get me wrong though, I'll have a tablespoon here & there...
Personally, I think one is becoming obsessive when starting to count green veggie calories. For competition, I can kinda understand, but if not, then I think weighing & measuring greens is a waste...
I agree with Rachel. And also, instead of waffles & activia, maybe eat 1/2 cup oatmeal & 4 egg whites instead (better quality protein & carbs). It almost looks like you may be too low on carbs as...
That's what I take. And like I said, as long as you monitor your diet & workouts & stay consistant, you will have no problem. (from my experience anyway)
