Day before grocery shopping?

[whattothink]

Need some ideas on late night snacks. Also I have no fruit, no bread, no veggies, and no popcorn. Lastly I don't eat cereal. Any ideas?

I'm answering in terms of both health and taste.

For me, the best late night snack is something high protein and something low to moderate in carbs. That combination will keep you satiated the best overnight. Gotta preserve your ever-so-important muscle mass.

I'm a fan of nuts as a late-nite snack. Peanuts, walnuts, mixed nuts, pecans, etc., either fresh, or in a prepackaged jar.

Also keep some nut butter (peanut / almond butter) to put on top of fruit or some whole-grain bread (has less net carbs [carbs that aren't fiber], and more protein than standard bread).

Cheese is also good to have. I would get the regular stuff over low-fat; it will be more satisfying and will keep you full enough to prevent waking up AGAIN for another late night snack.

Yogurt is also good. There are SO MANY FLAVORS to choose from...you'll find something that you'll like. Plus it's handles the sweet tooth well with more protein and less fat than premium ice cream. :)

Talking about ice cream...remember that (non-premium) ice cream is the ONLY dessert allowed at NFL training camps (compared to cake, cookies, cheesecake, candy, etc), due to it being low in calories compared to its alternatives, and the calcium helps prevent cramping.

Therefore, non-premium ice cream imo is perfectly fine as well. (sorry, no Cherry Garcia or Phish Food)

This was long, but hopefully informative.

Ok...you mean you don't eat any of those things?

Good luck with living!

No as in they aren't in the house at the moment

Starfruit, mangoes, peaches and papayas.

Also, I've become partial to coconut milk. It's handy to have around.
