Currently I am snacking on some chilled quinoa, chopped tomatoes and avacados and whole wheat chips....

Do you have any ideas for late night snacks that I can eat while doing homework late tonight?

    Yum! Sounds delicious :D Feel free to check out my diary! I snack a ton at night. Mostly fruits and protein with some carbs tossed in for good measure :D

    <--- Just had 1c (dry) oatmeal mixed with 1/4c skim milk + 1/2c Sf/FF chocolate Jello Pudding + 1 scoop Chocolate EAS whey.

    Need to go find something to top off.

    Because the person who told you this has a misunderstaning about insulin and metabolism in general.
    EDIT: I don't mean to be snarky, it was a legitimate reply, just FYI.

    the false belief that the insulin fairy will take the fructose in the fruit and turn it into fat

    I would just like to point out that I finally beat Acg to an answer. I should have a buzzer.

    My late night snacks tend to be popcorn, cheese and crackers, toast with butter, tortilla chips and salsa, dark chocolate, or ramen with egg and whatever frozen veggies I have.

    I don't stay away from fruit at night but I do stay away from processed sugar at night. It seems to make it harder for me to go to sleep, not because I fear it will suddenly turn into fat.

    ^ And just to clarify, this is absolutely a reason to avoid eating a particular item at night. Personal preference trumps darn near everything.

    Late night munchies is such a problem for me that I schedule it like a meal. Tonight's snack is an ounce of Canadian Club 12 yr. :wink:

    Generally the late snack is the same stuff that I eat for my afternoon snack and runs under 200 Cal. Things like jerky, cheese, pepperoni(turkey), a small bag of chips or popcorn, some fruit and cottage cheese, stuff like that.
