I get home from work at 6 PM. I used to run usually done by 7:30 and have a shake for dinner. I worried that the shake wasn't helping me any as far as muscle recovery (Boost shake around 300 cals) and what not so I started eating a small dinner. But by the time I make dinner it's 8 or 8:30 before I eat and i go to bed at 10. Now I'm torn between eating too close to bed time or not eating enough fuel. Would you eat or not?

You still hit the weights sometimes right? Get big protein right before bed.

I always mean to, but I'm such a carb junkie that I usually have something else. Embarassed

Eat...calories are calories. You need them for fuel. No danger gaining weight unless you eat more than you need.

Of course, I wouldn't suggest a pizza with everything on it. Bad dreams and all.

you are on my schedule, I run at 6 ish each night and usually eat my dinner at 8-8X. Full, big, yummy dinner each night.
