    a good late night snack is cottage cheese...the cassein protein is a slow burner and may help you nod off...just watch out ...some of the popular brands add alot of sugar and added sugar is the enemy

    try a big glass of milk. I go running in the mornings and when I come back in I feel famished, but if I eat something then I ussually end up having 2 breakfasts by the time I shower and get ready. So now when I come in I drink down a big glass of cold milk and I feel fine to get ready and can eat just one breakfast before I leave. Maybe this will help with your night time hunger issue.

    If not, try a handful of nuts. They have good fats which your body needs and tons of protein. But be advised, if you go for the nuts I'd already have them devied into snack bags of 1/4 cup each. Along with being packed with nutrients and protein, nuts are packed with calories.

    I would ask your trainer where he heard that. I think that is total nonsense....but who knows...maybe your trainer is corret but I doubt it
