Also has a lot of sugar, use it in moderation and you will be fine. I always have a teaspoon of peanut butter before I go to bed. When you are sleeping your body goes into reserve mode and can eat away at your muscle so it has enough fat so it wont eat away at your muscle.

Carbs are your main source for energy, when you eat bread eat only whole grain wheat and nothing enriched (it will say so on the ingredients). Carbs are fuel for your body once again keep it in moderation and you should be fine. Also if you eat pasta make sure it is wheat as well.

Nice list. But it's kind of hard to find ostriches or buffaloes in Philadelphia... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Spinksjinx, does it mean that if I eat some fat before bed, then the body will "eat" the fat and not the muscle?

exessive carb intake makes you gain weight if you don't follow it up with exercise.

dion-Most meat markets carry them, I usually stick with just white meats such as turkey/fish/chicken and fruits and vegetables and my protein shakes.

Real-No but peanut butter is soft and easy but slowly digests so it is suitable to eat a spoonful (leveled off of course) before bed. Nothing solid.

curious. do you eat the organic-style/organic peanut butter?

thanks for the tip, spinksjinx...from earlier...

dion-Organic/Natural is supposed to be better for you, because it doesnt contain the excess oils and fats that regular peanut butter does. But I use Jif, I use such a low amount (teaspoon leveled off) that it wouldnt really make a large difference. If you were to eat a considerable amount, I would recommend the natural PB.

Otto-Complex carbs aide weight loss in many ways - they contain more fiber, which makes you feel fuller, but also slows down the digestion process, causing more stable blood sugar levels, less energy dips and less cravings for simple carbs. they also require more energy to digest, thus just eating more complex carbs increases your metabolism. The same goes for protein - it costs more energy-wise to digest, so it has a greater thermogenic effect.

Simple carbs are one, two, or at most three units of sugar linked together in single molecules. Complex carbs are hundreds or thousands of sugar molecules linked together in single molecules. The more fiber, the more complex.
