What to Eat Before Bed to Lose Weight and Sleep Great  (3 of 7)

Half of a Turkey Sandwich

Turkey is a good source of tryptophan. The thing about using turkey as a snack is that it must be paired with a carb to help the tryptophan do its job. So a turkey sandwich on whole grain or wheat bread is the perfect bedtime snack. 

Egg Wrap

You may not think of eggs as an evening meal. But eggs are great sources of tryptophan, and also very low in calories. They are also high in nutrients like vitamin B6 and B12, phosphorus, selenium, vitamin D, choline and protein.
