With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I just can't sleep if I'm hungry...and usually I'm not really hungry, but I feel an impulse to eat something...anything.Is it really bad if I eat watermelon before going to bed? I should mention that I eat a lot...maybe 1 big watermelon...sometimes even more/day.From what I know it doesn't have a lot of calories but can somebody please tell me if I'm right or wrong? Thanks

That being said, you could probably make a wiser choice than watermelon. Not many nutrients....I would suggest a slow absorbing protein, like a casein type. Cottage cheese(low fat or fat free would be a good choice). -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
