What food do you eat after 9pm?

pennelope515

My work schedule varies so much that I can't always NOT eat after 9pm. I can be awake sometimes for over 24 hours before going to bed. So if it's later I try to stick to lighter food, and no bread. I find if I eat bread, I get really cold and tired.
I like pistachios, slim jims with a low fat cheese stick, pretzels, or fruit usually. I try to stay away from committing to an actual meal, and try to eat small snacks.

Assuming I've already had dinner (which is iffy as I don't get home til around 7:00) I usually have some pistachios or some cheese and crackers. And wine. I love my glass of wine! :drinker:

PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN to people without evidence that say you shouldn't eat at night. It's ridiculous and not true. I lose weight all the time and ONLY eat at night during Ramadan, and I have the same calorie count I do during normal months. Honestly there's little to no *good* scientific research that says the time at which you eat the food matters. Your metabolism doesn't go "oh the clock says it's past 9pm, let's turn ALL THE FOOD to fat this minute!" lol. Your body still processes and burns food at night, that's why your bmr isn't 0 then, and you sometimes wake up weighing less than when you went to sleep.

If you eat after 7PM, you are screwing yourself for weightloss or maintenence. Just sayin.

kettle corn popcorn, veggies, fruit cups, nature valley bars, pretzels, cold cut turkey and cheese slices....nothing heavy but something to help my hunger:) I get off work some days at 12:00 a.m. and I am hungry
