chicken strips
chicken tenders
chicken kiev

A beer.

Why don't you make yourself popcorn or baked potatoes/artichokes/roasted fennel/roasted brussels sprouts?

Canned fish on crackers
Cooked berries with cottage cheese or oatmeal
Cheez-its

Bacon? Lots of bacon? It can't possible be worse and you can cook it in the microwave.

I think popcorn will make too much noise for the small apartment I live in. Baked potatoes mite b cool, the others I've never heard of, dunno if they're available in my country. Will check though, there's a small market with some fancy shit close by.

>Canned fish on crackers

Nice.

>>5087706
Nah, it's not worse but it's not really what I'm looking for. I wanna be healthy now. Plus I don't have a microwave.

>>5087667
Dry ribs.

How about making your own oven baked chicken nuggets?

Chicken fillets cut in to your typical nugget sized pieces.

Roll in flour, dip in eggwash and then roll them in breadcrumbs with seasoning or in crushed potato chips, or both. Experiment with what you like.

Put those bad boys on an oven tray and throw them in the oven.

>>5087734
I tried it and was unimpressed. I mean, it's good, but it's not good enough to be worth the trouble. Besides, I'm trying to avoid fat, fried stuff in general, not chicken nuggets specifically.

>>5087761

He just gave you a healthy alternative that's baked not fried, you fat shit

>>5087767
Shit, I didn't see he said baked. My apologies.

>>5087667

>>5087784
hellz yea nigga.

make hummus, dip breadsticks in it. enjoy

>>5087722
those things he mentioned are available everywhere unless you live in africa or the anctartic or some shit like that

>>5087784
This *1000

>>5087667
>midnight snack
how about you stop eating and use control?

>>5087706
>you can cook it in the microwave
What? I thought microwaves were for re-heating, not cooking. What is the process for cooking bacon in the microwave?

Fresh veggies with blue cheese or ranch dip.

>>5087784
The good thing about these is that not only do they taste great, you can bake them in the oven too instead of frying them and they are basically pure protein balls, perfect for lifting. Fuck you man, now I want some.

>>5087875
Obviously veggies are the best option, but they just don't compare to deep fried chunks of pink slime dipped in corn syrup. there has to be a happy medium for the guy. What about a vegetarian pizza made with a whole grain base and farmhouse cheese?

Buy whey protein. Make a shake and drink that. Look up how much protein you usually get from your usual serving of chicken nuggets and replace it with that. That should keep you just as full although you'll be done with your meal a lot faster so you'll need to wait a while longer til your body registers that you've had food.

Salami, cheese, and crackers.

Maybe some nice olives or pickles to go with them.

>>5087784
Those are just as bad if not worse than chicken nuggers. Come on guys....

>>5087667
Well, lean protein is definitely the best thing to eat before bed to help you sleep through the night. What about baked chicken tenders, without breading, but sauced with buffalo sauce, or seasoned with lemon pepper and garlic? Or as someone else suggested, hummus, or cashew "cheese" (which is more like a dip anyway) with carrots, celery and cucumber slices (which would also add fiber to keep you satiated through the night). I, myself, take a fiber supplement before bed, because I get hungry at night and that keeps me from being hungry.

>>5087901
How? A boiled egg, lean sausage meat and breadcrumbs baked in the oven, that is a hell of a lot healthier than pink slime slathered in batter and then deep fried.

>>5087784
The fuck am I looking at?

I like almond butter and apples. Maybe a warm mug of homemade chicken or beef broth.

>>5087667
Chianti, hard salami, and aged cheddar. It's good for you, I swear.

stock up on nice dry cereals
good midnight snack, just dip your hand in the box with a glass of cranberry juice or two to wash them down.
i do it alot with cheerios especially

>>5087916
Scotch eggs, hard boiled eggs surrounded by sausage and shit.

>>5087722
can't make popcornnoise, don't have a microwave, thinks artichokes are exotic.
where the fuck do you live??

>>5087915
>lean sausage
>mfw

Also, scotch eggs are traditionally deep fried. The fact that you're backtracking now and saying baked in the oven doesn't excuse your post.

>>5087982
Damn, that sounds good.
>breakfast in sphere form

>>5087784
OP here and this looks glorious.

>>5087886
I've never made pizza at home, might work out fine. I'll consider it.

>>5087891
Yeah, I thought about that, or maybe one of those protein bars.

>>5087913
>baked chicken tenders, without breading, but sauced with buffalo sauce, or seasoned with lemon pepper and garlic?
Nice, very nice.
>hummus, or cashew "cheese"
Might be cool as well.

>>5087988
>can't make popcornnoise
2 light sleepers in a small apartment, I can't just pop shit at midnight.
>don't have a microwave
By choice. We don't need it at all.
>thinks artichokes are exotic.
But then again I'm new to cooking, so yeah.

Chicken sausage. The Aidells brand from Costco. Also the same brand of chicken meatballs from Costco. They come in so many savory flavors.

Sometimes I like to just take a leftover rare steak out of the fridge and just go to town with my canines, premolars, and bare hands.

>>5087990
>The fact that you're backtracking now
>Post a picture and absolutely nothing else
So you are saying that everything has only a single way of being cooked? Guy, you are a fucking moron.

Also, what is so funny about lean sausage meat? A scotch egg is the ultimate workout food if you do it properly, but apparently you only have to say an items name and it's cooking method is set in stone,

>>5088013
>OP here and this looks glorious.
Don't do it, that is britshit food. It will probably tatse like boiled meat and jellied shoes.

>>5087667
Cheese and crackers
Spreadable cheese baguette chips
Olives/ pickled things
Lunch meats cold cuts

>>5087677
This x10.

Don't eat anything late at night. Just have a beer, so you can have a quite mild buzz and then sleepiness.

>>5088161
If you're hungry beer will just make you hungrier, upset your stomach abit. Pair it with a sandwich or something, anything.

But if it's a heavy beer then it's good by itself, maybe

>>5088161
>1 beer
>mild buzz

oh to not be an alcoholic....

OP
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?

>240x145

>>5088181
I am an alcoholic. I wouldn't call it a "buzz" per se, but you can definitely feel the difference of one beer if you're not already hammered.

Always makes a lick of difference, but your mileage may vary.

>>5088191
I'm not American. Is this just a brand of frozen bacon one reheats or do you actually cook the bacon in the microwave?

>>5088217
>do you actually cook the bacon in the microwave?
Some people do, but it makes the bacon limp and chewy. Fried is obviously superior.

>>5088217
It looks like some disgusting retarded TV dinner.

>>5088052
Dude, get off the steroids.
Mentioning a specific dish will call up a "standard" cooking method, unless otherwise specified. You did not specify, therefore it defaults to the standard.

>>5088209
I heard that. Halfway through my second oil can of Foster's Ale (not an aussie, just cheap as shit)

>>5087667
just remove the breading and you will be fine

a slice of melon and a beer

is drinking a beer in the middle of the night that bad for you?

>>5088545
Asking stupid questions is bad for you.

>>5087868
line dish with paper towels, place bacon strips, more paper towels on top, more bacon, etc, top with paper towel. then nuke about 45 sec/strip.

>>5088220
There are two things wrong with your post. First, baked bacon on a rack to keep it above the grease is the superior way to cook bacon if you are cooking more than two slices. Second, you can get crispy bacon from a microwave if you cook it long enough. Although, anybody who uses a high wattage microwave should shoot themselves. High wattage microwaves leave shit burnt on the outside and fucked up/cold in the middle. Pic related.

>>5088637
45 sec/strip is too short if you use a proper-wattage microwave. You may need to bump it to 1:10 per strip to get it crispy.

OP here, thanks for the help so far, guys. I've never even heard of most things mentioned ITT, it really opened my horizons. You guys seem to know your shit.
