| | | Ideas for late night snacks?
I'm not sure what it is but my appetite always seems to work itself up late at night and realizing that munching on bacon strips an hour before I sleep might not be too good in the long run, I'm asking around for ideas as to what I can eat late at night.
Hopefully its somthing salty.

A deep-fried Snickers bar sounds pretty good right about now.

Ewen, with your Asian build you could pretty realistically eat whatever you want whenever you want if you work out a little bit too.
.... but that's probably not what you wanted to hear! (or maybe it was  haha)

Andrew: You'd be surprised at how much difference late night bacon wraps can make even if one is Asian.
I run and cycle maybe 20+km every week and still I'm just borderline on my physical proficiency test in the army. Sigh!

Hopefully its somthing salty.  | You got sumthin' against bacon at night?!? Sissy.
Here's one of my late night snack favs- Toasted and buttered english muffin with a fried egg, bacon and slabs of colby jack cheese. It's a nice sandwich- takes all of ten minutes to make.
Leftovers of any kind are a staple of the wee hours... ham, half-eaten chicken quarters, various casseroles and of course whatever has not yet developed alien life forms from fridge languishing.
But if you must do one of those Yoplait yogurt cups, then go for it.

Ah. I see it is a bad idea to ask for healthy diet tips in the PB.
Alright I shall resign myself to fried bacon at 11pm at night. Now I have to start another thread on what I should tell my commanding officer on why I failed my pt. |

Okay, you want late-night snack ideas that you can't blame for your PT failure? Any vegetables, some fruits, nuts and/or drupes (depending on how technical you want to be), pita chips with humus, healthy cereal with skim milk, light yogurt, etc. Basically, anything that would be a healthy snack anyway, although this would be a time you would want to avoid caffeine especially. If you are super-duper worried about the calories in your snack, don't eat a late-night snack! | | The Following User Says Thank You to AThornquist For This Useful Post: | |

How about cashews and/or almonds? They're healthy, they're easy, and they're salty (at least the can of 'em that we get at Walmart).

also pretzels, chips and salsa, cheese and crackers, celery stuffed with cream cheese (or laughing cow for fewer calories and fat).

One pound of cabbage and one pound of celery boiled in plain water for an hour. Eat with salt if you must.

Nuts/drupes = GOOD fats. So, yes, there will be some calories from the fats but it will actually be good for your body.

Nuts are high in fat, but a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids.....much better than bacon strips! Also, you can try some sliced up veggies dipped in some ranch dressing, or maybe some baked corn chips with a bit of salsa.

Well, let me be a little more accurate. A good portion of bacon fat is healthy (monounsaturated fats, just like most of the fats in almonds and other nuts/drupes), however about a third of the fats are saturated, which are very very bad for you. Because of how much fat is in bacon, even a third means way too hackin' much if you are health-conscious.

Yes, but I have heard on several occasions that, becuase of their fibrous nature, cabbage and celery cause your body to burn more calories in the digestion process than the food actually contains. Think about it. Negative calories and plenty of fiber to make you feel full. | | The Following User Says Thank You to TheocraticMonarchist For This Useful Post: | |

A quick spray of oil on the fry pan, a coupla tortillas , toss a handful of cheese on the first tortilla, top with the second, flip once and you're good to go.
I've been weaning myself off let night sweets with dried fruit -- still a fair amount of sugar, but a lot better than what I had been eating!

Is halvah readily available in Singapore? It's like eating dry vanilla ice cream. Very easy to sit and eat 4 oz. or more. Calming to an upset stomach, too.

Sesame seeds, ground into a paste and sweetened. It is often available in vanilla, chocolate flavors, and sometimes with pistachio nuts mixed in. I prefer the vanilla. It's a middle-eastern dessert type item.
Some regular grocery stores carry it, but it is cheapest at "Global Foods" in Kirkwood (MO). Shopping there is quite an experience--first time there, you wander the aisles (arranged by nations, with appropriate flags hanging in each aisle), and you keep saying to yourself, "People eat this stuff?!?"

My parents were originally from Eastern Europe so I grew up eating it! It has a unique flavor that is different than any other sweet treat you've tried! You can find it at any Middle Eastern Store! |

Thanks, Yvonne, for the pointer to that article. I learnt something, as the English say.
Have never had, nor did I know of, the flour-based varieties. That same Global Foods also sells what must be a sunflower seed variety, but it looks particularly inedible, stringy.
