I agree 100%. Eat a solid, slow digesting meal (beef or the like) close to bedtime, and there's no need to purposely wake up in the middle of the night to eat. Now if you HAPPEN to wake up and you're hungry, then by all means, eat something. But I would never in a million years set an alarm to get up and eat. Insanity!!!
fatty!
lies!!
Yep. If you feel you're having to force feed yourself with frequent feedings (the 6-8 meals mentioned above) which is what I assume you're doing, then switch to less frequent, larger meals. Eating should NOT be a miserable experience, ever.
If you want to stick to more frequent meals because that schedule works for you, and getting enough solid food is the issue, then substitue with protein shakes. I don't mean eat 1 4oz chicken breast every day and get the rest of your protein from shakes (although I have done that too), but if you're lacking protein, have a shake. You surely can get that down, and if you get creative you can have a shake that's really nutritious and still makes use of 'real' food. I have made shakes with egg whites instead of water, cottage cheese blended in, etc. Thick, frothy, and delicious - and i'm not referring to Dukkit's man juice!
