Here's something i just invented yesterday and its pretty good. Get some light vanilla yogurt and mix in a 1-2 tbsp of natural peanut butter. mix it up and enjoy. It's pretty tasty. Has some carbs in it, but i need something sweet before i go to bed.
Sugar free jello is also good. It wont help you meet any sort of nutritional or caloric goals, but it helps cure the sweet tooth

i just remembered another recipe i read in one of those fad diet cookbooks many years ago (i think it was South Beach or something).
1/2c low fat ricotta cheese
2tsp cocoa powder
splash of skim milk
some splenda to sweeten
mix them all together. it turns the consistancy of ice cream and its pretty tasty from what i remember.

as a general note, you want to eat something that digests slower to keep your metabolism going as long as possible while you are asleep. Fruit contains simple carbs which digest very quickly.
not my idea of a bedtime snack they would definately fit the bill of being low in carbs and high in protein and fat
I eat two servings of cottage cheese and two cups of milk, sometimes a protein shake instead of the milk. I also eat some peanut butter, fish oil pills, and cheese. The reasoning behind the cheese is the saturated fat should help with testosterone production when my body is producing it most (sleep), right? I'm not sure, as I have no scientific basis for this whatsoever, but it can't hurt.. right?
