New research suggests that snacking before bed (one of the events I look forward to every day) can lead to bigger muscles and faster metabolism:
1. Consuming milk 30 minutes before bedtime, and after an evening workout, led to increased protein synthesis in men according to a Netherlands study.
2. Men who consumed a 150 calorie snack of protein or carbohydrates before bed had a higher resting metabolic rate in the morning than those who ate nothing, according to Florida State University researchers.
3. Another lab concluded that having a snack before bed resulted in higher satiety the between meals the next day.
4. Wayne University found that people who at cereal before bed lost more weight than those who ate other foods - an extra 1.5 pounds over a 4 week period.
