Anything containing nuts(not salted) or 5 brazil nuts! A palm full of walnuts and same of grapes. NOT cheese or dairy/pastry/cake/confectionary as mostly contains things that help keep you awake, worst being cheese! NOT energy giving fruits/drinks etc... Sorry if it's all simple and boring but that's what I'd choose.

It is the kind of protein that dissolves very slowy, so you'lle get plenty of protein throughout your night of rest. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

OR if I really want some carbs, fat & sugar - GrapeNuts over Ice Cream.:love: But definitely not any ever day thing.
