+ 2 Looking for Night Time Snack Ideas Before Bed
ad
Hello all,
Iv been having a hard time finding a new high protein snack before bed. Lately Iv been doing a cup of greek yogurt at 2% fat. I’m just curious what you guys do for a robust high protein snack. I’m lacking creativity for food ideas. I am not on any sort of cutting diet at the moment so all ideas are welcome. Thank you all in advance for the input!

Dkoon211You can always do what i do and drink a cup of milk with casein protien powder before bed. It's slower to be absorbed so you getting protein while u sleep.
Frozen joghurt with berries and whey
Poached eggs, or grilled chicken breasts (but not too many)
A tub of cottage cheese with canned peaches -- or pineapple!
Toasted thin slice daves killer bread with peanut butter.
Lapiszx3Hard boiled eggs. But soaked in soy sauce. Trust me.
If you want the easier but not quite as enjoyable way…cut the hard boiled eggs in half and drip soy into the yolk. It will absorb it. Then just eat that half all at once.
I keep cured meats (salami, chorizo, etc) and mince them into an omelette or egg scramble with some shredded cheese. Also works for breakfast.
Cottage cheese. Duh.
Tuna melts. 1 can of tuna. A little
Mayo. A little cumin. Mix. Toast 2 pieces of bread. Spread the tuna mix evenly. Top with shredded cheese and put under broil in the oven real quick until
The cheese melts. Top with sriracha.
KonstantViktorySuck down cheap microwave nuggets with tums and laxative. Wallah.
KonstantViktorySince you're not on a cutting diet, some things that come to mind are PBJ and Chocolate Milk (high protien overall, not per kcal) , Pizza over products (lol) , Chicken Fritter products (lol) , you know, easy shit you can give to your kids.
Some healthier options
Deli meat and cheese for a late night sandwich... easy assembly.. assortment of Italian dressing/ranch/mayo for variety..
Roast Beef and Swiss
Chipotle Chicken and Provolone
Honey Turkey and Cheddar
Pick up a jar of pickles, keep an onion in the fridge ready to slice up and wallah... a nice option. Who doesn't love a good sandwich. A nice soft whole wheat bread and you're getting your grains! They also make soluble fiber bread with low net carbs for an easier digesting option too. "Keto" bread and buns.
KonstantViktoryKeep chicken breast cubes/cutlets marinated in low calorie options (if calorie maintenence is goal) and ready to cook at all times.
I like Italian dressing and herbs.
Popular as of late is the Ninja Creamy. Basically turns your protien shake into a convenient ice cream. From what I've seen you just add protien drink to the containers and freeze them, then the ninja does the rest and gives it a good consistency.
I also like vegetables.. carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, that type of stuff. Celery is practically zero calories. This isn't super high protien but it's good fiber and micros.
As far as a more IIFYM approach for picky eaters, get some high protien tortillas/English muffins, turkey pepperoni (low calorie and higher protien option) , protien pasta sauce, and low fat or fat free cheese plus other reasonable toppings to assemble an easy to make toaster oven pizza. Lol.
Zero sugar vanilla or plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of your favorite protein powder is great for beginners or when you’re craving ice cream/that sweet tooth feeling. Add some protein granola and it’s a legitimate guilty pleasure dessert. Over time your tastebuds will shed and you’ll get accustomed to eating less and less, but this can be a pretty good damn substitute!
Baked chicken and broccoli. Chicken is a very slow digesting protein. Broccoli has green vitamins plus cruciferous bonus.
I would say the best before bed protein source u can get would be cottage cheese, 80to 90% of the protein in cottage cheese is case in, the other famous milk protein, it's invaluable in recovery because it has a very long digestion time so it keeps aminos flowing in the blood stream to heal muscle tissues. The other remaining 10 or 20% of the protein in cottage cheese is the infamous, whey protein.lol. Greek yogurt is a close second place,also a great choice, provided you get one without the typical added sugar.
Couple of hard boiled eggs is always a good choice before bed, slower digesting protein.
StickSince you mentioned you arent on a cutting diet, I could relater to that. About the only desert I eat is ice cream, so I actually add a scoop of protein to my ice cream. At least I get a ;little something out of it. My wife found a recipe online for some "protein balls." Get yalls head out of the gutter! And those things are delicious!
1 chicken breast and either:
2 servings 2% cottage cheese with pickle
Or
1 serving raisen bran crunch with vanilla almond milk
These hit the spot and keep me pretty satiated through the night.
NativeokUsually I’ll have some kinda of meat I’ve pre cooked that day, so that with whatever just came out of garden
Is that a picture of your face ?
NativeokLol no I got it off google !!
Lmfao. That looks like some random guy that would be on the chat. It’s actually really funny if you took it from an actual profile.
NativeokLmao ya I thought I would be funny too, but I’m sure it was someone profile pic.
Fucking hilarious.
Get a ninja creami, bro. Freeze a fairlife shake, throw an extra scoop of protein in with your favorite topping, add a little milk, blend it up, 40+g protein ice cream. Or mix your favorite protein powder with your favorite bowl of cereal.
NativeokHeck yea I’m big ice cream fanatic
Anything with cheese because I don’t wake up in the middle of the night because I’m hungry. Or steak and eggs.
Being mostly French, I approve of this message.
My gf is mostly French with some Irish
Where ya been hidin ya Frog Leg eatin MoFo!!! LMAO
Va ta faire foutre ! Just busy with work and life, mostly work. A few things going on that have had me mentally exhausted. Mais, je de retour, salopes.
I make devilled eggs. I peel all my eggs and keep them in water in the fridge. keeps them moist. then I'll make up the mayo/egg yolk/ and put pieces of bacon crumble in there. then I put that into a ziplock.
when I'm craving, it takes only 3min to get a egg, dry it, scoop stuff into it. 4-5 of them fill me up!
...with the added benefit of warming the air under your sheets.
keeps the wife away
stav306Try this:
Snack on boiled eggs with a few small pieces of avocado. You can mash them and spread them on the egg.
Hummus. It's best to consume it as a sauce with freshly sliced peppers and cucumbers.
Fatty red fish. You can pair it with leafy vegetables.
Kiwi. Contains serotonin.
Dietitians have stated that consuming food high in protein and low in harmful fats shortly before bedtime helps stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the night.
usually a shake or sugar free beef jerky
2 slices toasted sourdough bread
2 eggs cooked over easy
Some deli meat
1 slice extra shard cheddar cheese
Some honey mustard
Chicken breast and broccoli
A solid staple
Greek yogurt
Cottage cheese
Can of tuna with hot sauce
Casein shake
Im alittle surprised with no fats before bed
Depedning on what type of cottage cheese I eat (depends on if bulking or cutting) I might get a little fat in there at night time. Mostly just concernded about getting in some slower digesting protein (the tuna isn't but tastes good
) and trying to stay away from alot of carbs, especially if I have a little DHB or tren going on.
Why do we want fats before bed? Slow digestion rates?
Currently, Nutella, bread and cold milk every night before bed. What can I say, I have a fast metabolism
Unfortunately I cannot eat things like this before bed. I do live Nutella though.
Tuna with mustard
Greek yogurt 2% with blueberries to take out the sour
Cottage cheese.
I split in half and toss 6 soft boiled runny yolked eggs in a salad and drown everything in olive oil
Iv been looking at some good hard boiled egg recipes recently on social media. People are getting pretty creative.
See how you do with soft boiled, it’s a game changer.
Power crunch triple chocolate protein bars are sooo good but only 13 grams of protein but there ok for cutting cus there only like 10 grams of carbs. I wish they had more calories and protein because I love them and would love if I could bill by just eating them all day
I’m
Gonna have to check them out. I honestly never really eat protein bars
Greek yogurt or cottage cheese are the move, mix in whatever you like to sweeten it.
If you have the funds spring for a ninja creami, protein shake ice cream basically. It’s loud as hell when it’s on but they’re delicious.
For a healthy late night snack attack sweet tooth option that does the trick for me is Zero sugar vanilla Greek yogurt, granola , cottage cheese 2% Topped off w sugar free maple syrup! You can also add fruit taste amazing!!
