Hey man,
I am not full into the diet like some yet, but have tried to modify it a bit to get the metabolism going. Mine currently looks like this 7AM - 2 Slices Wheat Toast with Peanut Butter 9AM - Banana or Apple 11:30AM - Turkey and Cheese on Wheat, maybe celery or carrots 1:30PM - Granola 3:30PM - Yogurt 6:00PM - Dinner (whatever the wife cooks! ha!) That keeps me full pretty much all day and energized. Right after dinner is when I do my workouts and cardio after that. |

You are probably not eating enough for breakfast and throughout the day, but if you have a high metabolism you may just ned to eat a protein based meal before bed.
When i dieted for my show i would wake up at 2 am hungry, have a shake and go back to sleep. Your body is just asking for the fuel it needs. Why is it faster to heat and eat a microwave meal (with lots of unneccessary additives and preservastives and inadequate protein) than to have a home made meal? -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results |

I marinate chicken breast and lean steaks and eat those at 8 or 9. No carbs and lots of protein.-------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan |

I have that problem, too. A habit I haven't been able to kick since being pregnant 2 years ago & probably my biggest challenge other than forcing myself to execise everyday. I do really well during the day, but then when evening hits, my "munchie mode" kicks in & it's very hard not to eat anything. I haven't been perfect lately, but everytime I give in, I work that much harder to resist the following night. Hopefully, I can conquer this problem.

i'm busy during the week, so i use my weekends to cook a weeks worth of food. 3 diff lean meats, low fat carbs, and plenty of veggies. then i either pack them up in meal sizes and freeze them or just put them all in the frige and serve them as i please. (u never know what you're going to want with what) if you're always on the move, freezing it the night before will make your packed lunch much neater. it may sound like a lot of work but once you start cooking it doesn't seem so bad b/c you're doing it all at the same time. if you don't cook, ask some VERY loving woman in your life (mom or wife or girlfriend) the food ends up being better for you b/c you control the ingredients. basically any food that you find in the frozen food sec in the grocery store can be done this way.
good luck |

Here's a key question.....what time do you go to bed? Instead of a shake at 8 try a high protein meal instead. 2 grilled chicken breasts and veggies or salad. Your body needs some carbs after your workout but instead of starchy complex carbs go for low cal, fibrous vegetables.
Good luck!! PAT |

I'm no pro. Just been trying to eat better. Here are some ideas that i take with me during the day and some late night "fight the munchies" ideas too. To take to work: a can of tuna fish with salsa and mustard mixed in... put in tupperware and bring a bag of whole wheat crackers to dip in the tuna... whole wheat bagels (orowheat) are good and mushy. If you don't like them dry, cut in half and spread on some minimal amount of jam or peanut butter. pretzels are good. For frozen e-z meals....lean pockets are good.. the pepperoni pizza and the chicken fajita... you can also make your own lowfat burritos to take. just get whole wheat tortillas and scoop 1/2 cupe refried canned beans in with hotsauce and some green chiles.. make about 5 or six of those and wrap them individually in plastic wrap and take one out each day before work. Fruit is the best filler-upper..apples/oranges....Try to find a lowfat frozen rice bowl that you like to put in the microwave...these are good and fill you up. protien bars are always good..I like protien plus power bars.s..vanilla yogurt and choc/peanut butter flavors are yummy. For the late night munchies...I try to fill myself up with low calories...after I have had all of the calories I should have..I make sugar-free jello and put in fridge..safeway brand is only 5 calories a serving..20 calories in whole pack..makes a good size bowl..put lowfat/calorie whip cream on top for a yummy filler-type dessert..no nutritional content whatsovever..just a filler so you can get those munchies off you mind. Hope this helps some.

alright, i just joined so im not sure how everything goes. but, i have a HUGE problem of eating at night. i eat SO much. i dont know what to do..its alomost as though i look forward to night time when everyone is asleep so i can eat. Im not technically overweight (by medical standards im not, not mine), but i know if i keep this up i will be. HElP!! also, if anyone could i would like a diet plan e-mailed to me, im looking to lose about 20 lbs. I work out 3-4 times a week and play sports as often as i can if that sounds like a lifestyle of someone else and your in great shape...tell me your secret!
