I always read how we shouldn't have a big meal before bed and especially a high protein meal, My understanding of how we evolved would be different. It makes more sense that we would have waken up in the morning and stack on whatever we can find, usually fruits and vegetables, perhaps a few nuts while looking for the big hunt and by the time we would get a kill it would probably be around night and then we would rest and sleep after a high satisfactory high protein meat. Eating a high protein meal makes me sleepy and this is how I like to sleep. I cannot sleep if I'm hungry and its way worse if I don't eat right before bed.
There were times where I ate lots of fat before sleeping and all I could think was how bad I was craving red meat. Eating fat never leave me satisfied, I always crave red meat and the more fat I eat the more red meat I crave. I don't mind eating vegetables in between meal or as a little snack while holding on for the next big meal during the day, but anything like eating a light meal of fruits or vegetable would keep me awake all night being hungry. so to me it makes sense that we would like want to sleep with a high protein meat, despite what people say that we need a digestive rest and that protein meal are long to digest and that our stomach acid is lower at night.
