@danteism

interesting, weren’t you only eating like a literal handful of them though?

40g, might be a handful but honestly, I find it satiating even now when eating at maintenance. So, I’d argue “enough”. I only get sleepy from big and carby meals. Say 100g+ rice and a packet of bacon. Way back when that and a nap was my post-workout.

@danteism

Do you feel that you need to have a pre-bed snack?

I don’t, but I want to get some almonds in if nothing for it seeming to have a greater effect on (positive) body composition changes if you eat it later in the day.

@danteism

Sleep quality and quantity is a lot more important than getting a couple of more hours of no food in.

I’ve basically find that if I don’t have melatonin before bed I don’t get to sleep until several hours after I’ve hit the bed. Meals don’t seem to help much if at all with the exception of the aforementioned post-workout.

@danteism

Remember that tolerable hunger is a good an natural thing that you should experience (both when dieting and when gaining).

Indeed, this is just to make sure that my mind is delivering the goods all day. Still tweaking things though. I’m what you’d call a happy experimenter…

@danteism

If you wonder how to tell the difference between tolerable and intolerable hunger don’t worry, you’ll find out when you experience the latter. (Note that there is no need for intolerable hunger, so don’t chase that)

Once, when I was broke, I came very near to eating cat food. I think I’ve experienced the difference. Fortunately, a mate swung by with food by happenstance so I didn’t have to eat… that.
