We all know that eating later at night will make us gain weight, simply because most of us are not active enough to burn off the calories we consume. However, there are some great choices of food that you can eat later (even before going to bed) and not worry about gaining the extra layer around your waist. How can I prove it? I eat these foods every night and haven’t gained fats.

1. Old fashion plain oatmeal - provides great amount of fibers to digest dinner
2. Fat-free/1% fat plain yogurt - provides adequate amount of protein for muscle recovery while you are snoring away
3. Broccoli - vitamins, fibers, anti-oxidant, you name it, it has it.
4. Fat-free/1 % fat cottage cheese - provides adequate amount of proteins and fills you up even more comparing to yogurt because of its dense texture
5. Cucumber - besides the obvious (vitamins, fibers, etc), contains large amount of water, which fills you up.
6. Mixed steamed vegetables - simply healthy and heart-warming

These are my top choices for snacking later at night when I am either stuck at work or can’t fall asleep because of hunger.
