I have literally never seen such a terrible "nutritional" article. Its hogwash. If eating carbs before bed had any value you would have heard about it before.

Oh and milk being good to help you sleep because it contains triptophan.....it has SO LITTLE of it, you'd need to drink gallons and gallons of it to get any notable effect. You're better off eating 2 or 3 turkeys to try and get it to help.

Its actually a bad idea because your body is going to take those calories and be "satiated" by them while you're asleep, meaning when you're awake you're likely going to eat even more calories to feel just as full throughout the day.

And people wonder why kids are obese nowadays, eating sugary cereal right before bed. Christ, what a terrible idea.

Diabetes.

Okay, I'm exaggerating quite a bit but with our society's obsession with high carb foods I'm surprised that diabetes doesn't affect more people.

Used to do this all the time

I knew a kid who ate cereal before bed. He's not with us anymore.

[JonDuke]

Used to do it. Never since I've been an adult though. Just may have to give it another shot.

Cereal before bed? I'm sure I've done it, but only because I'm hungry and need a snack.

Cereal for dinner? Absolutely.

I've also had cereal for dessert -- some of the sweeter cereals hit the spot quite nicely IMO.

cereal is the anytime food for something less than a meal, but more than a snack

In the context of this thread, is cereal a ephanism for something else? Or are we really talking bout cereal?

Any other nighttime cereal lovers on the Puck?

Has your wife forgotten her username and password?

A bowl of Fruit Loops is a good anytime, especilally before and after bed. I was gonna have a mandarin orange but I'm gonna have some Fruit Loops right now instead.

[Sliver]

I believe it's spelled 'Froot Loops'.

[KTrain]

They're not allowed to call it "Fruit" Loops.

[MRCboicgy]

They mean it's a good idea when you're totally baked, right?

[bc-chris]

sorry Sliver - i'm with your wife on this one

i rarely eat cereal (or anything really) before i go to bed. about the only thing i'll eat after dinner is maybe some popcorn if i'm watching a movie

[Slacker]

I like eating smarties cereal before going to bed.

[remember2004]

I would do it, as long as it fits my macros

[JurassicTunga12]

yeah, I love cereal before bed.

I'm having some right now.

[taco.vidal]

Sounds like a poor persons dinner.

I'm in my 30's with no kids, absolutely cereal before bed. Not every night mind you, but it's in no way odd/unique, it's just a great bedtime snack.
