Hey all!

I had a quasedilla for dinner (cheese, chicken, tortilla, guac, sour cream) and then I burnt a great 488 calories at the gym. Supper was at 6 and I just got home from the gym now at 9.

I'll be up for another 2-3 hours. Do I have a banana? Or not?

    Yes! Eat the banana. You should always have something after a workout.

    I would have a banana. That would digest quickly. But I would shy away from proteins that would be in your system longer.

    Actually something with casin protein is really good for a late night or before bed snack, as a slow digesting protein it will provide these nutrients to your muscles during the rebuilding phase (while you sleep).

    I do a small helping of lowfat cottage cheese...it tends to keep my blood glucose "flatter" as well, fruit has sugars ;)
