Can I eat late at night?

[PeachyQ]

Just want to be sure on this, but tonight I am a little hungry and have eaten my 3 main meals today and my total carbs are 15grams for the day. Would it harm my progress if I had a Mock Danish for a snack at night when needed?

I don't know about eating late. I eat late sometimes and I am doing well. How much other splenda have you had for the day? You can only have three servings. But as far as the carb count, you should be good. I just don't want to be the official word because I only know me.

Well, I figure it should be okay occasionally when we want a little extra something. Dr. Atkins did say to eat when you're hungry ( assuming you do not GO OVER 20grams of carbs). I don't have any bad late night snacking problems and tonight was the first night really that i felt like a little something extra to eat. ( Ate dinner at 5pm) so I think it should be okay.

So I modified the recipe.

I had 1 Egg
1 TBSP of Cream Cheese
Cinnamin (sp)
Butter

No Slenda and it was just as good to me. So just 1.6 carb for this snack and it did the trick. These danish's really satisfy me when i feel like a little something extra.


Time for a herbal tea!

You know, I am fine without the splenda too, when I made it, it was actually too sweet for me. I do like the vanilla flavor. My biggest problem is breakfast but I found some quiche recipes I am going to make.

I think you are right, you needed to eat something. Good job. Did you not put vanilla in yours?

Actually, I forgot too LOL. I didn't taste any difference without it. The butter is sweet enough for me along with the cin. There we go, an even lower carb snack!.

On Atkins you can eat whenever you want. Or rather... whenever you're hungry!

I agree with Sally - if you are hungry, eat. It really doesn't matter what time it is. I don't often feel hungry at night, but if I do I have a snack - maybe some dinner leftovers, a bowl of soup or sometimes a little treat like some cream cheese with cocoa powder.

The thing is though not to eat just because you are/were in the habit of snacking late at night (or any time) without actually being hungry. That's a bad habit and needs to be dealt with. But if its real hunger, eat.

You will be fine with that harmless snack! In fact, I was famished and just finished 3 low-sodium, nitrate-free roast beef/baby Swiss rollups dipped in mayo - we'll both be cool the next morning.

Re: Can I eat late at night?

Great news!. No, I've had a problem snacking issue before and cannot see myself ever having one, so no fears there. My mind is fixated on "never eat past 7pm", So, it's good to know that's not a problem with the Atkins lifestyle when you're " Hungry" ( Keyword)

The Mock Danish is a real treat to me. I'm thankful for the recipe!

Pork rinds are my life saver. I am back in school so as a snack today, I had me some in a baggie and drank a bottle of water and I felt fine.
