I went to a dietitian today and was told no nuts ( peanuts, walnuts ) 4 hrs before bed ? Anyone heard this also ? Seem to snake on peanuts in bed, and do sleep poorly ?

Walnuts are omega3 rich. Blend with cottage cheese for before bed snack.
Oh, and punch your jew dietician in the face :coffee:
thats a little wierd, maybe because the extra calories before bed would be counter productive to dieting?? I dont know, If I eat a ton of carbs before bed I will have nightmares a lot of times, but who cares.
Dude, when I nut before bed I sleep like a rock.
Seriously, walnuts or almonds in cottage cheese pre bed is awesome. Every pre coach I've had has concurred.
Sound like on of two options.Quote:

I always thought you wanted to eat ur fats later in the day or at night ..
I always do cottage cheese and flax oil (if I need to catch up on fats) pre-bed, and I don't notice any problems...Quote:

most nutritionists and dieticians are complete morons and have no real world experience with what they preach...they simply go by everything they read which we all know is biased by the writers and untrue much of the time

I'm impressed that this went go 10 posts with out someone taking to ejaculatory humor... I saw captn' as the first resonder and I laughed a little in my head thinking that it wasn't going to last one post. Impressed and dissapointed a little too.
maybe you misunderstood the guy because he is incorrect as you describe.
eating nuts at night seems to set me up for a gassy next day.
I think you missed RockShawn's comment.Quote:

That's why this forum is one of the best - real world advise. ( plus the dick jokes ). I still smash walnuts, and peanuts before bed with no problems. Thanks for all the good info.
I bet your "dietitian" suggested a glass of full fat milk before bed :eek2:
a person would think that's the way it works. but for athletes or those with much higher levels of muscle mass the metabolic rate actually increases during the first sleep cycle then it slowly decreases lower and lower until it hits it's lowest rate just before awakening. basically the more muscle mass a person has or fat free mass the less of a difference there is between the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the sleeping metabolic rate (SMR).Quote:

cottage cheese I think that makes a great snack for sure. Give that a try and let me know how it goes
Probably just referring to digestion interfering with sleep. With that being said I blend up a 4th cup of almonds with some protein before bed almost every night.
I like to nut before bed. helps me relax.

what are your nightmares about? :angel1:
i think the guy just wanted you to lay off the nuts because they are very caloric. i doubt they can cause nightmares.
Foods That Help or Harm Your Sleep Slideshow
Reach for Tryptophan-Rich Foods
We've all heard of warm milk's magical ability to send us off to dreamland. Do you know why it's true? Dairy foods contain tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that are high in tryptophan include nuts and seeds, bananas, honey, and eggs.
