    o guys i have another question about protein/fat meals! ok i want to start having 2 cans of tuna before bed so im not spending so much cash on chicken but i only like tuna with mayo(miracle whip)...

    it says on the bottle it has...

    about 4g per tablespoon of fat,only like 0.5g of that is sat fat
    and it has 2g of carbs per tablespoon...

    per can of tuna i will ussually have like 2 heaping tbsp of miracle whip which will increase the carbs up too 8g before bed! is this too much carb for a pro/fat meal?

    also if it is ok to do this with the mayo i will eliminate the pre-bedtime tbsp of olive oil...

    I eat 2 cans of tuna w/ full fat mayo ED at work, but not before bed... never have because I couldn't stand that taste in my mouth even after brushing my teeth before bed...

    I would cut down on the amount of mayo myself... I only use 2reg. tbslp...

    Other than that, IMO it should be ok, unless you're trying to be really strict...

    I prefer a whey shake w/ 2tbs. of Udo' Oil before bed personally.... sometimes I have some eggwhites instead of whey, with some natty PB....

    do you think that using mayo as one of my pro/fat meals it hold me back from being leaner?

    Not really... there are some better choices of fats out there, but a little fat from mayo is just fine IMO....

    Just watch and make sure you don't go overboard on it... I stick to 2tblp...
