Evening/Night time snack

I always have what I've considered "dessert" food for nighttime snacks: generally a serving of Breyer's ice cream or an ice cream sandwich. Sometimes cake or pie if I made some for an occasion and have leftover. Very occasionally I go for a banana split with the Breyer's, homemade whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a large banana, but that is on high energy days where I have the room in my calories and macros.0

is eating popcorn, cookies, chips, cake etc not bad for you, even if you are within you calorie goal because it contains lots of sugar and sat fats i.e. the bad macros??0

You can get plain popcorn, the sort you pop in the microwave or in a pan, that doesn't have sugar added. You can also get low-calorie ready-made bags of popcorn that are under 100 calories, so not bad as a treat. I wouldn't have it everyday, I tend to swap and change.0

As long as what you eat fits into your goals (and limitations) based on your overall fitness plan and any medical conditions you may have, then there is no problem with sugar or saturated fats.
Also, Strictly speaking, sugar itself isn't a macro, it is a carb. Same with saturated fats - it is a type of fat, but not a macro in itself.0 -

Cheers ill check that out, been looking to find a decent yogurt with good protein content but the majority of them in the supermarkets (in the UK) seem have loads of sugar in them0 -

Thanks for this, I was assuming that you should avoid sugar and sat fats as much as possible. That should help0 -

Here lately it's been Trader Joe's "Triple Ginger" cookies.
Three cookies are 65 calories and they taste amazing.0 -
Lately I've just been having my evening snack as my dessert. That way, I'm not even hungry by bedtime. I usually have an Atkins or Quest bar, especially since I eat supper right after my workout. Very filling and hits that sweet spot!0

Oh man, I'll have to try those out! I LOVE ginger!0 -
Yogurt! I make "proyo," yogurt cups using Greek yogurt and sugar free jello pudding mix. Most of the time I just use vanilla flavored. I mix a serving on it in a cup of plain and fat free Greek yogurt.0
