    hard boiled eggs before bed ok?

    just wondering, are hard boiled eggs ok before bed? How bout an egg salad sandwich, no mayo of course, just dijon mustard? Maybe just one piece of wheat. ????

    Hard boiled eggs are fine. Keep it to 1-2 yolks because each one has 5G of fat. You need some though because just plain egg whites digest quickly so keep some fat in to slow down digestion.

    Unless you are bulking, I'd skip the bread at bedtime. Just my preference but if you are within caloric range then the bread is alright..

    even if bulking I would not recommend bread at bedtime, keep to fat and proteins, no carbs. the only exception would be an true ectomorph that has a difficult time gaining weight.

    Insulin antagonizes GH if i remember correctly. GH is greatest while sleeping, and carbs=insulin.

    I'm not saying i agree i'm just explaining Rob D's stand.
