Wait, you used to drink a 12 pack of beer and a pizza every night before going to bed at 4am?
Sleep helps, a lot. Getting less than 8hrs sleep prevents you from being as thin as you could be. Get rid of the fast food and eating out period. All very unhealthy. As far as snack foods that can be good for you......
fruit
veggies
a few nuts (not too many)
Sunflower seeds (not too many)
light string cheese sticks
protein bar
protein shake
chicken/turkey/beef jerky (not too much because of sodium)
any small meal- I eat those 250 calorie south beach diet lunch boxes
smoked salmon
tuna in a can
It's late and that's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there's a lot more I'm forgetting.
