Munchies After Midnight

[Penglobal]

As an avid marathon runner and ever since moving to The Villages, most of my summer running has been after 900pm, as I still cannot get accustomed to the Florida summer afternoon heat. After a night run, I'll sometimes get the munchies and I still haven't found a healthy eating alternative after midnight and "healthy" is the operative word.

I'm willing to travel anywhere between the Gator (Gainesville) to the Mouse (Orlando). Any suggestions on healthy eating options into the wee hours???

[Topspinmo]

Anything fruit or vegetables.

maybe some cheese or sliced turkey
lightly salted nuts
avocado

Run early morning.

[Gpsma]

Got to be a 24 hour McD’s somewhere....special sauce, lettuce, cheese on a sesame seed bun sounds healthy enough for mw.

If not for you....try any 7/11...they have lots of HEALTHY choices at 3am

WAWA is 24/7. Why would you drive 2+hrs RT in the middle of the night for a snack after running? I think this is another post generator thread. Must be that time of the month to count the posts for advertising rates. ;)

Any suggestions on healthy eating options into the wee hours???I can’t get my head around running at 9pm and getting the munchies. I go to sleep about then. But isn’t a healthy snack a healthy snack whether at midnight or noon?

White Castle (Orlando). Been the place for late night munchies for decades. Definitely healthy, not.

Orlando White Castle opening draws big crowd - Orlando Sentinel (https://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-bz-white-castle-orlando-opens-20210503-5vc5wgvlyjfffd3icxfq5q2ygu-story.html)

Anything that doesn't come in a box, which means nothing processed or with additives,

[am.zinger@aol.com]

Try a protein shake and add some frozen fruit & frozen veggies. They come in bags in the frozen fruit section. It's cooling, filling and healthy and will still satisfy the munchies.

Peanut butter on 100% whole wheat bread. Handful of nuts. Bowl of low sugar cereal with added banana.

Anything fruit or vegetables.

After running there should be some protein in the mix.

Are you asking what foods are healthy or where can you buy them after midnight?

Why wouldn't you just go to Publix and keep your refrigerator stocked with healthy snacks? I don't see the point of driving that far for a healthy snack that late at night?

[graciegirl]

I didn't get the point either.

Me and Dagwood Bumstead like a nice midnight snack. I choose a half peanut butter and jelly sandwich...or...I sometimes fry a quick egg. Cookies don't do it for me in the middle of the night. We keep leftovers and they are quickly heated and mostly really yummy.

I wouldn't want to drive around and find a restaurant. I don't want to change out of my jammies.

[MrFlorida]

Go to Aldi, buy some food during the day, and after your midnight run, go home and eat.....

I’d do a smoothie at your house. Fresh fruits, whole milk Greek yogurt for protein, etc. easy, quick refreshing and cold to drink. Got a Vita Mixer??

[taruffi57]

Sidewalks get rolled up. :-)

[jimkerr]

Some good chocolate ice cream takes care of my cravings.

Depends if under weight or over weight?

I must one of few that dark chocolate makes me have stomach ache or sick in my stomach. White chocolate or milk chocolate don’t bother me.

Exactly what I was thinking Doc.
If you're a runner you should be carbo loading.

This post is very suspicious

[frank1975]

Are you nuts!!!!!!! You can’t run around 7:00 am???? So you’re running around 9:00pm and then have midnight munchies??? This must be a joke!!

Sorry Frank, But I am not swinging-out my lady parts for a 700am run.

[EdFNJ]

Sorry Frank, But I am not swinging-out my lady parts for a 700am run. No, OK, but you'll drive 2-3 hours RT in the middle of the night to Gainesville or Orlando for a healthy snack? These posts get sillier by the day. How much do they pay you to create these threads? :1rotfl:

WAWA or Circle K for the show! You can then give us a first hand Crime Report.. methheads, potheads , and blockheads

So far I don't see any viable recommendations, but I do see what is (to me) a surprising lack of understanding as to why one might sometimes wish to go somewhere other than one's own home for a late-night bite (I do believe some of us may have been young once).

I don't have any recommendations either, but perhaps if you log into "Yelp" during those hours and use the "Open Now" filter, someplace other than Denny's, WAWA or Circle K may show up. If so, for safety purposes it would be prudent to visit the area of the establishment(s) in the daytime before going there after dark to be aware of the surroundings you'd be heading into.

Definitely a strange post. Willing to travel all over the place in the middle of the night for a "healthy snack". This from the same OP that posted about preemptive hoarding a little while back. Forgot to hoard your snacks? :ohdear:

Stock up at home. Sidewalks roll up at 9:00.
