Toast before bed with protein?

nightvision Posts: 40 Joined: 2004/02/23	2007/07/07, 10:44 AM I have been hearing mixed messages about carbs before bed. Some people it seems have whole grain toast with tuna, cottage cheese or natty peanut butter. Other posts I have read say that no carbs are good before bed. I was under the impression that you need a low glycemic carb with the protein to help slow the digestion / absorption. Can anyone shed some light? THanks!

ONe of my favorites is whole grain toast, melted peanut butter on it and sprinkle protein on top. Add some cottage cheese as a side dish, and voia', nourishment for a hungry body/muscles. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

Example, I stay real good on my diet so I can endulge and surpass in carbs for a day but I do this in moderation meaning not every chance I can get but when it feels right without guilt So yesterday although I had all my meals in place and ate as my diet goes I also had some extra calories with about 3 to 4 slices of pizza which totally took my cabs over I even had a slice before bed with a shrimp salad and guess what I didn't wake up fatter or off target or guilty at all because I don't do this often but make my choices and timing proper! One great thing come when you finally have your self figured out is the guilt free meals or snacks and timing of your foods and I think thats diet at it's best when you don't have to feel bad or second guess your choices. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
