Answers:
Try a light snack before bed. Warm milk and foods high in the amino acid tryptophan, such as bananas, may help you to sleep; avoid alcohol/caffeine 4-6 hrs before bedtime.
The American Dietetic Association recommends eating sources of both carbs and protein together as a snack, giving examples such as crackers and low fat cheese, yogurt and fruit or cereal and milk.
In an Australian Institute of Sport sample high energy meal plan for a young anonymous athlete, fruit smoothies with skim milk, fruit, ice-cream and skim milk powder was listed as the bed time snack
So according to the experts, examples of the most beneficial bed-time snacks are:
* fruit and some plain low fat yogurt,
* a skim milk smoothie with fruit, or
* low fat cheese on crackers - my personal favorite.
When you combine both carbohydrates and protein in a snack it makes for a much more enjoyable and varied snack than just mixing up a protein shake or munching on an apple. This way you are not only ensuring that your body is getting enough ready energy for use of overnight, but also ensuring that you are also "feeding" your muscles.
