I knew that at some point early this year I would have to address the issue of late night snacking. The physical training for the UBBT is progressing well, I am having a great time playing hockey, and kung fu classes are great. With all of this physical activity I am realizing that I need to make changes related to my late night eating habits. It is quite simple really. If you are physically training hard you need to fuel your body in the same manner. I have become good at the physical training part, as I have been involved in competitive sports for most of my life, but it is now time to pay more attention to "late night snacking". During the day I am eating right for the most part, but the majority of evenings are filled with chips, cookies, and pop. Doing this once in a while is certainly fine but when it becomes most evenings, something must change, today.
Starting today I am going to replace the chips and cookies with fruit, yogurt, or eggs and the pop with water or green tea. I will give myself one night a week to still have chips and a pop. This should make me better by 86% related to late night snacking. Have a great week!!

I'm with you on the snacking. It is hard not to have something after the game or class. I have been trying hard to make smarter choices at night when my stomach thinks that my throat has been cut. I have tried having a fruit salad handy or cottage cheese with fruit in it. It is a good source of protein without a whole bunch of calories. Let me know if you find anything yummy to stave off the late night attacks.
