Avoiding Overnight Hunger???
OK...I'm working on gaining some LBM with minimal fat gain.....so here is my question:
What can I eat late night to avoid waking up in the middle of the night and being soooo hungry?
I find it hard not to be eating in the middle of the night so I'm looking for some suggestions as to what you guys find that works well to eat at bedtime that keeps you full throughout the night but isn'e too damaging to the waist....I like to stay in pretty good shape so I don't like the fact that I've been hitting the fridge at 3am.
Thanks guys!Searching for the right balance...

I usually have about 8 egg whites and 1Tbsp of Ntural Peanut Butter....even still I keep waking up and heading to the PB at about 3-4am.....believe me when I say at that time or the morning I feel like eating the jar...but I don't!

That's not enough fat...add 3 yolks and you'll do a better job of getting to morning w/o starving

I have at least 2 yolks with 7-8 whites. I can really tell when I miss a meal at night. The 'ol stomach starts feeling empty about 2 am.Originally posted by w8lifter

BTW~ Peanut butter and eggs together makes for some nasty airs.Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.

Am i the only one who feels that waking up at night and having a small meal/snack is a good thing? Especially on a bulk. Why not plan it out, and split your cals up over 7 meals (assuming you're eating 6 now) and have that 7th meal at night in the form of a shake. If you can't fall asleep with a lot of liquid inside you, why not cut your last meal in half (in terms of cals) and have the rest of it when you wake up at night in the form of a shake, that will make it a small shake and it will take you all of 5 min to drink it.

If I wake up and mill around for too long then it will take me forever to fall asleep again, if at all.

I personally am never hungry in the middle of the night (DP...shhh
) ....I'd rather get un interrupted sleep than food.

Ditto, I don't get hungry at night, I try to get my fats and enough food in my system before I go to bed, and no problems with that. I have woken up hungry sometimes, but not lately.
Frankly I eat so much its already hampering my life, to get into the even heavier poundages I forsee ridiculous amounts of prep and eating time.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

Ditto on the uninterrupted sleep, but if i regularly woke up in the middle of the night and was hungry, i would definitely take advantage of it.Originally posted by w8lifter

Well...that's the thing...once I wake up and feel hungry I have to eat or I can't get back to sleep...I also eat quite a bit at night so I don't think it's that.....I'm wondering if it may be because my overall fat intake is too low during the day? What do you think?
About overnight eating being a good thing...it may be I just want to make sure it doesn't end up on my waist!Searching for the right balance...

Eat more fat with your last meal, give that a shot. I'm 231 and I can say I haven't woken up hungry in years.
