So I am doing macros and usually after I get home from work I will crave bad foods such as chips or late night Gatorade or cookies. Some nights this doesn’t happen. Normally I will have 115protein and 15-20f and 60-80carbs which I weigh 208. I try and hit 215 protein. 225carbs and 80fats. This does well for me. If I eat a sugary protein bar does this cause cravings. Like I said sometimes it does and sometimes I don’t crave as much? What are your thoughts? I was supplementing dhea for trt since it was low and maybe dhea was causing hunger ? Thoughts ?

If you eat a sugary protein bar at night, and you begin to have cravings after, it is probably because your blood sugar has dropped. Get a protein bar with no added sugar if you want to have a bar in the evening. Or add it to your last meal of the day.

Ive found if I eat more before bed I sleep better. During the day protein and carbs, and protein and fats before bed, keeping me full.
