Ok. I've been really wondering what's ok for me to eat late at night and what is not. I mean, maybe, ideas for my 6th (final) meal? Or what if I just a little before (or right before) I decide to head to bed I get hungry. Any guidelines? Would some fruit or almonds be ok?
"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.
Late night hungers

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Good:
Veggies (any and all)
Some low sugar fruit. Bananas, Pluot, Blueberries.
Nuts (not the fvcking candied ones either)
Bad:
Pretty much everything else up to and including pizza.

Ok, great, cause I'm about to go and I'm planning to grab some almonds lol, I'm really gonna try and be strict about my eating now. I want results ASAP (I know that's not something to say which is why I gotta do everything as best as possible).
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I usually have something which only contains proteins and little to no carbs, so I go for either nuts, cheese or tuna.
Someone suggested veggies and fruits, but would that work for cutting? Aren't they, expecially fruits, high in carbs?

Just interested in knowing, a lot of you say nuts. What kind of nuts specifically?
I switched over from cashews to roasted peanuts as a snacker (very low in carbs and I comsume 100 or so calories per 2 hours) but started to break out in pimples. WTF?!? I only drink water or that Arizona Tea brand when I'm feeling like some flavour.
I think I'll go cashews again but I don't like the higher carbs. So yeah, which nut do you like to nibble on?

You guys think a mix of 23g whey protein + 2 tablespoons of whole fat milk powder is a good idea to go to sleep with? I'm currently trying to gain muscle while watching my weight, and been recently gaining some weight as I can see my love handles growing. I'm not sure if it's due to the amount of food intake I increased during the day, or that drink I have at night before I go to sleep.
The reason why I drink the protein mix before bed is that I usually work out before I go back home to sleep, and I need a post-after work out drink. No 1-2% fat milk is available since where I live you can only get milk powder.
Will that shake make that much of a difference on my weight?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Arh.. I know the ones. Not too much treatment on those. Not too brown.blinkwatt said:
I reckon the pimple outbreak could be from the 'roasted' treatment. These are Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. It's not easy on the throat and might cause other reactions. I'll try the unsalted peanuts and if problems persist, almonds or cashews.

Stick to a blend of protein and fats...
- nuts
- chicken
- tuna
- olive oil
- cheese(cottage)
I never eat veggies before bed, they leave me feeling unsatisfied, and most taaste like crap.
A bedtime snack i make frequently is:
1 can of tuna
~15 - 20 slices of Hot Peppers for flavour( plain tuna gets boring after several months)
1/3 cup of almonds
1/3 cup of grated cheese
mug of green tea - this isn't for everybody, it could keep you awake at night from the caffeine
mix all that in with the tuna, and it's to die for.

My fav is peanut butter and celery. Awesome snack. Just make sure to get all-natural peanut butter, not the skippy crap. Ingredients should be peanuts and salt, that's it.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Protein.
No carbs except green veg.
Some fat is okay but keep it reasonable if body fat matters to you. I do 6 meals a day and the 5th meal only has a little fat where earlier meals in the day might have 20-30+g. I'm mostly sitting on my butt 2-3 hours before bed winding down so i don't have huge energy needs then.
Sometimes food before bed bothers people but not most.
I take half scoop whey, 1 scoop caseine, half scoop egg powder as my final meal. ~50g protein.

Read that info so you can digest (pun intended) what happens when you REALLY sleep.
KillaPetehog, you are only partially right. Carbs you probably dont need many, but a few wont kill you. On the otherside, if you are saying NOTHING really happens when you sleep, you aren't even in the ballpark, and LOTS happens when you sleep. Just read the article above.
And even if you dont understand the article, all you have to say is... 6-8hrs of sleep HAS to do something and that it does.
Truth be told, for people that bulk or try to stay in an Anabolic and not Catabolic state, THIS is where they fail, and it is the night time part of it. They think... Ok, last meal at 9pm, go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 6am. So right there is 9hrs total of fasting from food.
Most dont know it, like I stated, but MUCH goes on when you are asleep. Quite honestly I think this area in research is huge, and what we all can do to help with this 8hrs of sleep for those of us who kill our selves in the gym. A start is like the article suggests.
I personally have a 5 blend protein that I use just for bed for the most part. I get everything I need, and carbs are low. The digestion rates are all different, as well as the Amino Acid profile for each protein.
Hope the article helps Zerix
