Late night snacking is a fairly common habit, and isn’t just triggered because you’re still hungry. Sometimes it can be because you’re bored or tired – or even thirsty – but more often than not, the snacks we reach for are quick fixes to satisfy a craving and are hardly ever a healthy option.

Our solution?

Healthy snacks you can eat after 8pm that won’t lead to weight-gain and will still satisfy your late night cravings:

1) Popcorn

Popcorn is both delicious, and healthier than other foods. It’s high in fat and sprinkling salt, Parmesan cheese or chili pepper flakes are a healthier option than butter.

2) Avocado

Many people enjoy avocado on toast, but try skipping the bread and just enjoy it on its own, or if you must have bread, try multi-grain bread. Avocado is high in good fats and fibre.

3) Bananas

Bananas are high in potassium and magnesium and are a natural muscle relaxant which will help you sleep when you head to bed. Their high carbohydrate content will also help you sleep better and will satisfy your hunger craving quickly.

4) Greek yoghurt

One cup of Greek yoghurt is low in sugar but high in protein so you’ll feel full quicker, without eating too much before sleep. You can also add in banana (with its muscle relaxant properties) or other fruits for some natural sweetness and antioxidants.

5) Dark chocolate

Chocolate may be frowned on before bed, but just a single square of dark chocolate (70% or more) contains less sugar than normal milk chocolate and is packed full of antioxidants.

6) Cereal

A small bowl of cereal is packed with fibre which will help you feel full and satisfy any late night hunger cravings. Low fat granola would also give you extra fibre and a slight sweetness.

7) Hummus

Enjoying a few sticks of carrots or celery with hummus late at night will satisfy any cravings for a crunch and the hummus is full of protein.

8) Blueberries

A single cup of blueberries is full of fibre, vitamins and antioxidants and makes for a great midnight snack. Pair it with the Greek yoghurt or cereal and you’ve got yourself a healthy snack for after 8pm. Looking for more nutrition tips? See the Your Plate section on our blog.

Does ice cold water burn calories?

Drinking a glass of ice water rather than a glass of water at room temperature only burns about eight calories. Your basal metabolic rate, which keeps your organs functioning, burns about 70% of your calories.

Our bodies can burn calories in several ways: basal metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity and digestion. Drinking cold water rather than warm is not one of them. Or, at least cold water doesn’t burn enough calories to be worthy of mentioning. “If your goal is weight loss and burning more calories, I wouldn’t spend time on the temperature of the water, but rather on reducing calories by snacking on fruits instead of cookies,” UAMS Outpatient Dietitian Andrea Tappe says. Drinking a glass of ice water rather than a glass of water at room temperature only burns about eight calories. Your basal metabolic rate, which keeps your organs functioning, burns about 70% of your calories. Physical activity adds about 20% and digestion about 10%. The idea that drinking cold water must burn more calories developed from the belief that our bodies expend energy to warm up. It is true that your body will work to raise its temperature to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will only expend about eight calories to do this. Eight calories is the equivalent of a small pickle. How much water should we drink daily? Tappe says that men should take in about 15 cups and women should take in about 11 cups. “This may seem like a challenge, but remember it includes water from all beverages, even caffeinated.” Are you ready to get healthy? Come see a UAMS primary care provider and get started on the right path. We will provide expert medical guidance for starting and maintaining a healthier lifestyle so that the temperature of your water is the last thing you’ll need to worry about!
