Snack before bed

Mix in together and enjoy. any comments on this little recipe? Is it a good Idea? I know the ketchup isn't the greatest idea, but it's only a tiny bit of it. 15 calories to be exact. DX14AG

The cottage cheese is a good source of casein protein, the pb and oil are a good source of efa's, it all takes a while to digest, and there's very few carbohydrates. On my last bulk, my pre-bed meal was usually: 1 cup cottage cheese 1 tbsp natty pb (or 16 almonds) Small spinach salad with low-cal raspberry vinagrette dressing and 1tbsp flax oil.
