midnight snack

what can I eat if I am hungry at midnight, something that won't mess with my sleep?? and something that won't get stored as fat?~erica

A calorie is a calorie so no one food is more likely to get stored as fat than any other.

Good snacks to help with sleep- milky drinks, mashed banana and peanut butter on toast, oatmeal with raisins, turkey + lettuce (apparently- though that doesn't appeal to me at all right before bed!)

Angel's right, a calorie is a calorie, eating anything in excess means it will be stored as fat, not specific foods.

Try something that will be easily digested is generally good.  I find bananas work for me, something in liquid form like a protein shake (watch out for caffeine though) could work. 

If you wake up hungry or find yourself super starving right before bed, try eating something a few hours before you go to bed with some fat and protein (both of which will help make you feel full at the time) and fibre (which will help you feel full for a long time), although I wouldn't have something super fiberous right before you lay down.  So some PB on some wheat bread would be a good snack, or a smoothie with fruit and protein powder.
