Pretty good day

Thanks to my new friends here and a place to "unload" I had a pretty good day yesterday.  Ate good, walked and took most of my vitamins and water.  All in all, not too bad-that is until the middle of the night.  My house was broken into on Friday so I haven't been sleeping very well.  In fact, most nights I end up on the couch.  Last night I ate an english muffin w/peanut butter (not the entire muffin). I"m thinking of trying some tylenol PM to help me sleep - I don't want to start the night time eating again but I'm a little stressed at night.  Any other suggestions???

I've heard of the 40/30/30 and just want to make sure I have it correct.  40% protein, 30 carbs and 30 fat????

Hi Diane!

I am sorry to hear about your house, I can not imagine!  I am sorry I do not have any real advise to help you sleep, but I think the Tylenol PM sounds like a good idea (if it makes you sleepy, it does not work for me).  As for the mid-night snack, at least you had some protein with it :) 

Way to go on having a better day, it is amazing what this board can do for us....  Having some place to go for support and advise really does help!

I have never heard of the 40/30/30, I am waiting to see what others say about that!

Have a great BOTTing day!

Good grief - so sorry to hear about the breakin.  I'm sure if I'd experienced that I'd be eating my head off - not just part of an English muffin.  It's been my experience there are two kinds of people in the world - those who "just can't eat a thing" when they are stressed and those (like me) who can "eat a horse and chase its rider"

Can't help with the ratio - I'm a calorie counter myself.  But I believe we need a higher percentage of protein to get our vital 60 grams a day.  There will be others here who know about that.

So glad you're here
