[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three boys ranging in age from 6 to 17. I found that when the two oldest wanted a post-dinner snack, they craved (and I refused) junk. I found that if I let them have junk for a post-dinner snack, they were grumpy the next morning until after breakfast. Instead, we fought a lot at first and finally compromised on fat-heavy (rather than carb heavy) post-dinner snacks that they could prepare themselves. They eat/ate a lot of guacamole, hummus, nuts, salami, and cheese. They usually combine it with a glass of milk. The oldest will now frequently down half a dozen hard boiled eggs before bed and seems happy. The middle son still struggles to make peace with the options of offer and seems to mostly really want someone to prepare something for him. [/quote]

Most trainers and lifters say that lots of carbs are essential to building muscle for athletes:

Research suggests that conventional wisdom is wrong:
