Batman begins was a great Batman movie ,more dark and violent....less cartoonish.

I think its not so great to eat large meals late at night...as your body generally has less energy demands and therefore really doesnt need a large energy supply in the form of all the KJ that are being put in through the food intake.

If your body is not going to need the energy for work of some description then it will store this energy for a time that it is required, in the form of triacylglycerides in adipose tissue.

When you sleep your metabolic rate is at one of the lowest it can be...this is called your resting metabolic rate.

Generally most people don't do a lot in the late evening so really there is no point in eating a lot.

It is possible to snack if you are feeling really hungry on foods that are not energy dense but that are nutrient dense like vegetables or fruits...that way you can feel fuller without the energy intake and at the same time top up on nutrients for the body.

Nothing wrong with the water suggestion except you dont want to be drinking to much water late at night and end up waking up in the middle of the night busting to go to the toilet. I hate getting disrupted sleep.

Thats also another good reason to not eat to much late at night and thats if you are trying to sleep.....but your body is busily trying to digest whatever you ate ,which can make sleep more restless for a lot of people.

Most people get enough protein in their diet for the essential and conditionally essential amino acids levels to be fine. Don't forget the body can synthesise the others. Unless your protein intake is inadequate and your doing some intense workouts in the evening....I cant see how the protein intake will be of any benefit.

Ive read somewhere that when a person is sitting watching television that the metabolic rate is even lower than when sleeping....I mean its all a different story if you work out in the evening or work night shifts etc and everyone is different.

Sometimes its hard to avoid like when youve been working or gone straight to the gym after work etc so that when you get home its very late and you havent eaten for a while....the best thing to do is plan for these types of occasions by having some good foods to snack on. When you do get home eat good food and another thing that can help is to eat more slowly. It takes time for the food to pass from the stomach to the duodenum (start of the small intestine) this is where the main receptors are that tell your brain youve eaten enough. I think its generally about 20 minutes.

So eat more slowly and enjoy what youre eating. that way you wont over eat. You know that feeling when you eat alot pretty fast and then stop when you feel full then shortly after your stomach hurts because your so full. yep

Not enough time to let the food move through the digestive tract.

Also try not to be on the go when eating, aside from the above reasons..when your driving and eating or walking around the house and eating...your digestive functions will be impaired due to competition for blood supply and sympathetic nervous system competing against the hormones of the parasympathetic nervous system which deals with digestion.





I really liked the first 3 batmen though.....how good was jack nicholson as the joker ,man what a perfect role for him ;)
