When I eat a snack before bed because I am actually hungry, I usually have protein and a complex carb. One of my favorite quick protein and complex carb snacks is a cheese stick, wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla and heated up in the microwave. That's also what I have if I wake in the night and can't go back to sleep.

If having just a carb is working for you, sweet potato is fine.

: Hi everyone,
: I am on step two after feeling

: I am discovering many things about
: myself, one of them being that I
: am hungry at night 4 hours after
: dinner and usually have a snack. I
: have been having various snacks,
: not high sugar because it gets me
: too wired but wondered if there
: were any suggestions. I am not on
: step 3 but gravitate toward eating
: that way naturally. I am not
: focusing on getting the right
: amount of protein or perfect
: timing yet, nor should I be at

: is too early but though maybe some
: of you have found particular
: snacks good before bed.

: I have had whole grain english
: muffins, wasa crackers, an apple.
: Would a sweet potato be ok? I was
: on low-carb for so long, a brown
: before bed is comforting and
: actually a treat.
: I actually have eaten browns for a
: long time and love them.
