i was reading sumthin about how eating a cup of cottage cheese b4 bed helps b/c sumthin bout the proteins in it take a longer time to break down so they stay in your system through the night. ITs kinda true i guess, i was on a plan a couple months back and in about a months time i went from 142 to 158. Just eat like 6 eggs in tha mornin and some oatmeal, and two more small snacks b4 lunch, then at lunch eat a big salad and a huge turkey sandwhich and just kind of keep the eating up through out the rest of the day.
