many people thin that eating at night will make you fat and that it can totaly sabotage your fat-loss. well, the good news is that these people are WRONG!
in fact, there are certain foods that you can eat before bedtime that can actually increase your fat-loss and muscle-gain results. ok, but wait!.. you can't just have anything you want. yeah, i know.. sorry... carbs, of course, are a no-no, but hey! you can still get your dessert, don't worry (for late-night snack recipes go to the recipes area).
so the rule is:
-no carbs or very little, like up to 10g) otherwise you'll experience a rise in insulin which stops the fat-burning process
-favor slow-digesting protein that will provide your body with a constant flow of amino acids during the sleep and it will help your body recover and grow.
here are a few examples for a satisfying late-night snack:
1. WHITE MEAT (not red meat or fish which have a significantly higher insulin response so they're best to avoid in the evening). you can add tons of GREEN VEGGIES which are virtually calorie-free and will fill you up for sure.
2. COTTAGE CHEESE or GREEK YOGURT is the top choice since it's a very slow digesting protein and coats the stomach with a jelly-like membrane that guarantees a slow and constant flow of nutrients throughout the night. doesn't have to be fat-free, though. in fact, it is better if it's full fat or low-fat. the fats will slow down the digestion even further.
