    Eating late

    My job does not start until 4:30 pm and most of the time I'm walking. I'll eat first at say noon, maybe again at around 3 pm and again at work at around 7:30 pm. I get off work at 9:00 pm and head over to the YMCA and swim or bike or treadmill. Now I always get hungry at around 11 pm or 12 pm. So I'll open a can of tuna or salmon with a piece of WW bread with peanut butter or maybe a bowl of cereal. I've heard that it's not a good idea to eat after 8 pm. But I also just read on another site that that is a myth and it does not matter when you eat. I'm trying to lose some weight and burn some fat, and I'm thinking because I'm more active later in the day and at night that my body needs that late night meal. I hope it doesn't get stored as fat though.

    what you eat is more important than when you eat it. most of us here eat every 3 hours and directly before we go to bed...

    The time you eat is all relative. I work from 2-10:30PM. I usually goto sleep around 2-3AM. I wake up in the range of 9:30-10:30AM. I eat a couple of meals after I get home from work. Not eating before bed is a common myth that has no bearing. I do, however, skip on carbohydrates before bed.

    Cowpimp, you said in I thread that I had posted, that you eat cottage cheese and PB before bedtime. I'm lactose intolerant and the only dairy that I can eat is plain yogurt and lactose free milk. Could I substitute plain yogurt for the cottage cheese. Alternatively, is chicken too heavy to have right before bed?

    I would eat a more easily digestable protein like fish vs poultry in your case

    Sounds good to me (and yummy too - I have a friend who swears by PB and egg white omelettes!).

    Other options:
    Chicken + PB
    Salmon + walnuts
    Whole egg(s) + egg whites +/- EFAs (depending on how many yolks you had)
    Casein protein shake + PB/almond butter
    Tuna + PB/almond butter/nuts
    Turkey + almonds
    Lean red meat +/- EFAs (depending on how fatty the meat was)

    egg whites are a pretty fast digesting prot. but the PB would slow it down.
