What should you eat before you go out drinking?

  • You should be eating protein, not carbohydrates or greasy foods prior to a night out!
  • Snacking on protein-rich foods like eggs, greek yogurt, or quinoa before drinking alcohol can help slow the emptying of your stomach and delay alcohol absorption.
  • Plus, protein is the most filling macronutrient, keeping you feeling fuller for longer, which can reduce your risk of alcohol-induced food binges later in the night.
  • Avoid salty foods like potato chips, pretzels, and crackers, as well as refined carbs and sugary foods and drinks, such as white bread, pasta, sweets, and sodas. These foods can worsen bloating, fluid buildup, and overeating later in the night.
