Meal before bed?

[Davidlee]

Just got in and was hungry, heated up a chicken breast and 2 nutra grain bars. Should I stay awake for a couple hours or will i wake up 100 lbs heavier if i go to sleep now?

protein is fine, but watch for the carbs pre bed.

yeah? what about a small amount of oatmeal?

first of all, you shouldnt ever been eating nutragrain bars ( the first ingredient in them is high fructose corn syrup , very nutritious ).

second of all, unless you just got in from working out, you shouldnt be eating carbs right before bed. if you insist on eating the carbs, stay awake a couple hours. blood sugar needs to be low in order to release the most growth hormone while you sleep, no matter how low the GI the carbs are.

can't tell if this is sarcastic? Haven't seen you around the board much lately jakellpet. Anyways, I am taking this as sarcasm because I know you are pretty smart about all this stuff.
