This article really talks about how these 8 bedtimes snack aren't that bad as you may think. I know growing up my mom always told me that is wasn't good to eat past 7pm. Well if you were ever told that and were afraid you would gain weight if you did.... Here is your solution!
An Apple with a Spoonful of Peanut Butter (MY FAVORITE)
Apples have lots of fiber and a satisfying
crunch. "The protein in the peanut or almond butter also fills you up
without feeling heavy in your stomach," says Brill.
String Cheese
Sure, it's processed, but hear us out: One
serving of this snack contains filling protein and fat, so you feel
satiated—and it only packs about 80 calories. Cheese also packs the
amino acid tryptophan, which may help make you drowsy, says Brill.
A Bowl of Cereal
Put down the Count Chocula—all that sugar
might leave you too wired to sleep (and also give you a stomach ache).
We're talking about the whole-grain, complex carb kind (think oatmeal or
corn or bran flakes) that's easy to digest and gives you 200 calories
or less per bowl, says Brill. Pour in a little milk for extra tryptophan
and protein.
Nonfat Greek Yogurt
For about 100 to 150 calories, you get the
relaxing powers of tryptophan from the dairy, as well as satisfying
protein, says Brill. Plus, yogurt can help calm your stomach, so you're
less likely to wake up with heartburn or indigestion and instead can
score a good night's rest.
Two Slices of White-Meat Turkey
Turkey is loaded with sleep-inducing
tryptophan (no wonder you're so sleepy after those massive holiday
dinners, right?) and low-fat, high-quality protein, says Brill. A few
slices won't run you more than 100 calories.
Nonfat Chocolate Pudding Cup
We're totally loving this one—the creamy
chocolate pudding goes down easy, but it doesn't contain the fat that
can sit in your belly like a rock all night. One single-serve pack racks
up about 90 calories.
Some other others are:
- some baby carrots
- a banana
Snack isn't always a bad idea; as long as it is healthy! Snacking helps to curb your hunger, so when you are ready for a meal you don't inhale it as soon as you sit down. I wanted to make sure I included the top 10 best snack ideas for you to eat! EAT HEALTHY WITH THE FOLLOWING 1. Almonds almonds deliver filling fiber, protein and healthy fats. 2. Grapefruit Grapefruit’s "diet food" rep might be justified: one study found that when people simply ate grapefruit with each meal, they lost up to 3 1/2 pounds over three months. 3. Chickpeas Keep chickpeas in the pantry. They have a meaty texture and a nutty flavor along with plenty of satiating fiber and a little protein—perfect when you’re watching your weight. Try roasting them for a crunchy snack that packs up easily. 4. Grapes Toss grapes in the freezer for an easy snack. Because they’re sweet and you savor them individually and slowly, you’ll get a lot of satisfaction for jus...
