Snacking after Dinner

[Atkid]

What do you think would be a good snack for after dinner, somthing that definately would not cause a stall? I know most people don't like to eat after 8 pm but I am assuming that is because they are looking at a 10 or 11 pm bedtime. I tend to be up to 2 am everyday. I eat my dinner between 6 and 7pm so by 11 or 12 I am looking for something to tide me over before bedtime.
Any suggestions?

Celery and creme cheese?

Thanks for the suggestion. I really can't tolerate stalks of celery because of it being stringy, would green pepper with cream cheese be okay or is green pepper too high in carbs say to eat a half pepper?

Atkid, what rung are you on?

Doing extended induction, trying to keep at 20 carbs per day.

You could try a piece of cheese wrapped in some smoked salmon

Watch that green pepper, it's pretty high in carbs for a veggie... I found that out the hard way after I ate it and went over my carbs for the day.

Salmon unfortanately is not one of my favorite foods, would eating a couple pieces of sandwich meat and cheese rollups be too much sodium for so late at night? Pladd thanks for the heads up on the green pepper carbs. Have to find something to enjoy that cream cheese with, maybe a couple of scrambled eggs and cream cheese will have to do.
Thanks!

I didn't like cream cheese straight either but I'm becoming used to it, especially with a titch of Stevia and cocoa (that's my new late night snack). Green peppers aren't SO high in carbs, according to FitDay one large (2.25 per pound, approx 3-3/4" long, 3" dia) only has about 7 net carbs, and strips wouldn't be nearly that much. What about guacamole on something? Avacados + mayo would be very very filling.

Peppers are on the list of salad veggies and if you count them as part of your 3 cups of veggies, you won't get even close to your 20 net carbs. On induction, I never even came close to 20 net carbs. I love peppers, green, red, yellow, orange...If you cut them into strips and have them that way, I doubt even a whole pepper would make more than a cup of strips.

Another snack that I love is stuffing jalapeno peppers with cream cheese, wrap them in bacon and cook them in the oven....a little more effort, but worth it.
