    I probably would reach for milk. Put some in a mug and warm it up with a little vanilla and a little bit of sweetener (honey, sugar, or whatever you normally use.) It will be a dessert for you, but the warm milk will actually help you sleep better. It's what my Mom would do for me as a kid when I couldn't sleep. :flowerforyou:

    That happened to me yesterday. So I went to Steak n Shake and got a Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake - which has over 1000 calories. :)

    No fun at all! Then maybe nuts would be the best way to go... or possibly a protein shake as someone posted? But I'm thinking nuts.

    Can't find anything that discusses this - do you have a source? Thrush is the result of suppressed immune system and/or imbalance in natural bacteria (it is essentially a yeast infection in the mouth). Now, anything with sugar can contribute to thrush - but if you brush your teeth (and tongue, cheeks, etc) like you're supposed to, this should never be a problem for most healthy people.

    Also, Milk doesn't cause thrush. Ask a doctor, or atleast google it.

    yes, you can. I did... I am anorexic and fighting it... so just making sure I get my daily calorie goal is what we are going for here. Why would you say that I can't?

    PLUS! Regular people do it all the time by drinking milkshakes or "fancy" coffee drinks or even by eating chinese food. (or at a buffet... or just a really rich big meal.) - I don't, but people do it all the time!

    Doctors aren't perfect. I don't expect all to know all. But I would expect THAT to be something that you could find information about. I would disagree w/ that doctor, but perhaps I AM wrong. However, please tell me why it is I can't have 1k calories at once.

    you brush your whole tongue, cheeks and gums and the throat part won't happen.

    I believe it's caused by drinking BAD milk and that's why some babies get it.

    I wouldn't eat them all that late at night - you'll never sleep with your poor body working to digest it all night. I would go for a good lean protein like a shake or something, at least your body will use it if it needs it!

    Eat something high in protein. It will help your metablism stay charged up over night.
