Drunk snacking?

I don't usually eat the night of, I just wake up starving. Bacon is a must have as it always cures a hang over. Throw in some eggs and you are good to go.

Almond or other unsalted nuts
Banana & peanut butter
Bacon
Granola bar type item - I make my own, which is really easy to do!

I like a drink on Friday and Saturday as well - Make sure to drink the low-cal stuff to begin with - even wine can add up. My husband uses a no calorie margarita mix, 1/2 of an ounce of tequila, adds some olive juice and mix with ice in a shaker - add a few olives for a Mexican martini drink. If you drink 2 of those you have to count 1 ounce of tequila and however many olives you put in there - I love them so I put in a lot- like 6 little ones or 3 big ones. The olives are actually good for you!
I want to snack too and have some of the prepackaged servings of hummus around with 6 pita chips per package - that will help with keep track of how much you snack since those are serving sizes.

Me too!!!!! :drinker:

Wondering if anyone here has any advice for something sane to eat when I come home after a night of drinking and all I want is a burrito and a piece of cake. This is my "trouble zone" and I need help trying to figure out something healthy and satisfying to eat when I'm drunk and craving salt, fat, and sugar.

I need to be able to either make it beforehand and store it (and have it be appetizing when I get home), or be able to make it really easily when drunk.

Does anyone have a similar issue? :blushing:

Pssssht to everyone staying to quit drinking.

If you bang a few rails of blow at the end of the night right before you leave the club or the show or the party, you won't even be hungry and can go straight to bed when you get home.

Problem solved!

I'll be real honest, when I drink I crave McDonalds Cheeseburgers, and I hate McDonalds. If I get to this point I have had too much, and in the last two months I have severely cut back on my alcohol. But, if I do go overboard I found that it's best to just feed the beast, have that cheeseburger and call it a night, if I don't, If I try to eat an apple and some nuts I'm just going to stay up and drink more, and eat more, in the end it'll be worse than if I had just said, hey, sober guy, lets hit the Mcdees. Your mileage may vary, but for me, I feed the beast, and then don't drink that heavy for a month or so.

Just live, drink, eat and enjoy ... Really, just do it.

We are put in this place for a minuscule time and we ain't meant to be obsessing over macros and ****e as we are making our way to sure death.

That is absolute, no afterlife, total death by the way.

You will die.

Everyone you care about will die.

So enjoy those snacks, whatever you choose.

If you choose to worry about 'empty calories' and 'I just drink water, I don't need alcohol to have a good time' then that's up to you.

Make sense? No? Good.

^I love you.

OP, great advice on here. I like eggs for a drunk snack. They fill you up, give you the salt fix and don't have to be a diet wrecker. Cheers!

Agreed! You only live once people. I go out drinking most Saturdays with my friends and it honestly has no negative effect on my weight loss. As for the eating goes, I plan ahead. I don't eat as much that day to save up some calories and I go to Zumba or something and burn a ton of calories. When I drink I usually make myself eat something before bed because then I don't feel sick in the morning. If you go for fast food just don't binge...get a kids meal. Or just get the burger without the fries. Plan ahead for it and exercise the next day and you will be fine. I personally don't see myself coming home at night and cooking or throwing together a snack...I know I would just go for speed and convenience. Just plan for it and have fun without feeling super guilty. :drinker:

Hey I'm in college and I have the same problem!

First of all you can't always fight off the drunken munchies but a lot of the times you can, and that's what's going to get you to your goal. The way I get by my drinking and over eating problem is by keeping only healthy food in my house. When I come home from a night of partying I want food! Make a giant bowl or sugar free jello or sugar free pudding....if you are drunk and eat the whole thing then it wouldn't be as much calories as a giant burrito or fried chicken. Also, if I you have sweets or high calorie foods around you try to take a bite and pass it on. What I mean is give it to a friend, throw it away, do something that forbids you from eating the whole thing. Hope this helps!

Oh man I don't know about healthy because back when I partied every weekend my favorite things to eat were either:

1. Gas station nachos
2. A hot dog from the stand on the corner
Or
3. Those chicken nuggets with cheese inside. Microwaved.

And if I spent the majority of the night on the dance floor, all three. With a giant sprite from mcdonalds the next morning. Fountain sprite cures all alcohol induced ailments.
