Late night meal/snack (no meat/diary)

    Wondering if anyone could recommend something to eat late at night. I work shift and don't get home until 11:45pm most nights at which point I am starving. I will generally just eat some rubbish, packet of snacks, koka noodles, biscuits and maybe a small pie or so. I am usually in bed by 12:45am. Generally I try stay away meat/diary foods and eat right most of the day but I don't want to eat too much or too heavy as I do be heading to bed after. I would prefer to eat something that feels filling and healthy.

    Generally rest of my diet is like so
    morning - muesli (with water) , fruit
    Lunch - sandwich (bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and wholegrain mustard) + fruit
    Dinner - potatoes and veg + fruit

    I don't snack on anything between meals except maybe berries and grapes, here and there.

    Just want to cut out the rubbish at night if I can with something healthy.

    If you're in bed an hour later do you really need to eat then? I'm sure a banana or something small would satisfy you enough.

    Have way more protein and fat in your diet and you might not be so starved at night.

    Overall your diet is very low in protein. Id be trying to eat more protein than you do regardless of the night snack.

    I don't know if this sounds palatable for a night time snack, but a three bean salad, veg pieces with hummous, quiche or fritatta, savoury cous cous, or a chunky minestrone soup are all things that can be prepped and ready to eat when you get home.

    If I'm tired and lazy I'd boil some eggs and have those

    More protein and fat and maybe look at the times you eat if there's a long stretch between your last meal and going to bed.
