Healthy Bedtime Snacks

http://www.fitsugar.com/Healthy-Bedtime-Snacks-18486249 I always thought that snacking after dinner packed on the pounds, but after learning that eating in the evening will lead to weight gain is a myth , I'm back to my happy-snacking ways. Knowing that eating after dinner isn't completely off limits doesn't mean you should scarf down a plate of loaded nachos before calling it a night, but if you need to eat something before bed, make sure to make the right choices by avoiding foods that can impair your quality of sleep. As a rule, avoid any spicy foods, citrus fruits, tomato sauce, and other foods that cause indigestion and possibly heartburn as well. In addition to spicy foods, fatty foods will also hinder your ability to get a good night's rest since they are harder on your digestive system, and therefore making it more difficult to sleep.

The Protein Conundrum: the REAL truth about Protein

Out of all the conflicting information that is bestowed upon the American public in regards to nutrition , the one seemingly straight forward and universally agreed upon tenet is the importance of protein . The general consensus is that in order to maintain a healthy weight and be healthy in general, it is vital to consume enough lean protein (which in America typically equates to white meat and fish) and limit intake of carbohydrates .
