problem eating at night

ad

ok so i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for this. I wake up often at night to use the bathroom, have had this problem and didnt want to take any of the prostate meds they offered me because of the sides. Thats not so much the problem. The problem is when i wake up, im hungry and i eat. See im pretty good on my nutrition, dont eat bullshit, i count my calories on a sheet of paper everyday, but i try to make certain amount, 4000 calories, by when i go to sleep. But i get to that point, then wake up and eat another 1000 calories, and its usually something easy like peanut butter sandwiches, or whatever is quickly accessible but i wonder if any of you guys had any ideas in how i could incorporate this eating into my diet plan so i dont get fat but i continue to gain muscle and still take in the amount of calories id like too, without going overboard. I'm good at dieting all day and can easily do it during the day, but at night when im tired i get weak cause otherwise i wont be able to sleep, once ive already been sleeping and wake up . Anybody else have this type of problem? Anything work for you guys to make this bad habit not so problematic? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried saw palmetto or alpha beta prostate?
I always and a few lbs. of turkey broken down in 1/2 lb. increments and raw baby carrots on hand for quick and easy opportunities...

no, i havent tried any of the over the counter medications, but its really starting to become more and more annoying so i think ill give them a shot. do you use either? which do you prefer if you do?

Casein shake before bed. Slow release over a few hours. Problem solved!

I hear you, try a real small amount of water possibly? (Casein not great when really thick though).

Smoke less weed! No but in all seriousness I have this problem too, and I tend to drink a shake with milk and eat greek yogurt. It helps a lot and at least fills me up a little. I get the shake ready before I head to bed.

I agree with MuscleDevelop. Cottage Cheese and Casein Protein. Those are the last two things I eat at night before I go to bed and can make it through the whole night. Mix it with milk too!

What does your prostate have to do with u waking up at night to take a piss???

Really bro?? Joe Theismann talks about this like every day. "You don't have a going problem...you have a growing problem"

Try keeping a few pots of Cottage Cheese in your fridge bro!
They are high in protein, low in fat, and very easily accessible when you are crawling out of bed like a zombie in search of food in the middle of the night.
Your typical pot of Cottage Cheese (350g) contains about 40g protein.

thanks man. thats a good idea. cottage cheese is a staple in my diet, i always have at least 2 tubs in the fridge at all times. i think ill start saving that for nighttime munchies instead of during the day.

You can add a tea spoon of organic strawberry jam to give it a bit of flavour.
