Not eating late at night is not an option. So what should I eat late at night? I work out at about 730 or so and I come home and I'm starving. What makes you gain the least weight? I'm putting back the pounds when I get home....Any advice on practical stuff I can buy at stores? What to snack on when you're at home on computer or watching movie? Cheese? Jerky? Fruits? Thanks.......
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Any advice on what to eat late at night and not gain weight??

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

As Colossus says go easy on the carbs. I work nights also (6:30pm - 11:00pm), so I usually take two meals to work with me. That way I'm not so hungry when I get home.
If you must eat carbs, go for the slow digesting variety (wholemeal bread, brown rice, sweet potatoes). These will better please your appetite, without causing a surge in insulin which leads to increased fat storage. Note that eating foods high in protein (meat, poultry, dairy, nuts) will also better satisfy your appetite. Cottage cheese is especially good before bed as it contains a lot of casein, which digests very slowly. If you have some good muscle mass, casein will help prevent your body entering a catabolic state (basically your body eats itself) whilst sleeping, due to its slow rate of digestion.

Casein protein is a staple every night for me (especially if I've been drinking that night).
It's done wonders as far as keeping more of my gains in the gym.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah not enough guys take casein. Everyone is so brainwashed that 100% whey isolate is the only way to go....but it's not. It's good POST-workout, but the rest of the time you need to be taking in a good protein blend. Whey isolate is absorbed very quickly and doesn't provide the sustained levels of amino acids in the blood stream you need while sleeping.

I'd suggest against more then 1-2 piece of wheat bread(which have grains). Or at least eat that stuff 3-4 hours before bed if your dead serious about keeping a low bodyfat.
Fat free milk is also a good one!

Cottage cheese and a teaspoon of flaxseed oil.
I've been using that combo every night for the past couple years, and it has done wonders for me. The slow digestion will keep your body from fasting during the night, and you will actually wake up ready to eat again. This is important because most people are not hungry when they wake up in the morning, which is a critical time to eat, especially if you're trying to build muscle.
If you're not a fan of cottage cheese, any form of casein protein will do the job.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
