Bedtime Protein Question

[Neo22]

you guys are pissing away money at shakes. Take 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese add maybe like a scoop of whey to that for flavor, and eat like a 1/4cup of almonds and you will be full as shit.

right on with this
i eat some cottage cheese and some almonds or anpb before bed sometimes i will take a shake about 40 grams whey and casein

I eat 2.5 cups cottage cheese before bed then wake up 3 hours later and drink a 40g egg/casein/whey shake. Shake is same price as cottage cheese...

I suck down a good 70g's or so of egg/casein mix, with some atkins milk. This is about 10 minutes before I go to bed also. I wake up starving usually at least once a night, I usually just drink some water or crystal light, but now I have the idea of having 8ounces of liquid egg whites instead. 26g's of egg protein, AND helps my stomach and makes me less thirsty. Being full is NOT a problem at bedtime till morning. During bulking in the daytime, it's HELL, i'm full to the point of being sick all the time, but dieting, or even just when it's time to sleep, after a few hrs I'm hungry no matter what.

So you can get a 2 protein shakes for 2.15 like you can get enough cottage cheese for two nights?

I posted this in the AS forum cause I know everyone here takes protein before bed, and nobody ever goes to the diet forum anyway.

I'm a full time college student, so I have to change my eating and workout schedule every quarter as my class schedule keeps changing. So far I've managed to eat approx. every 2-3 hrs for the past few years...unless I'm in a 3-4 hr lab. My only problem has been my bedtime shake...

I find that I have trouble sleeping and I still feel full in the morning if I try to drink a 40 gram casein/egg/flax monster right before bed... How much protein do you guys get before bed? How soon before you sleep do you take it? Can I get away with a smaller shake...like maybe 20g or something? Do I have to drink it imediately before I sleep...what about an hr or two before bed?

I down 55g as I'm laying in bed

40g casein on my way up to bed. And on the side what you said about a long lab. Kong bars are perfect if you end up in another one of those (I got one next semester)

Alright you freaks...I'm just gonna say fuck the sleep and stick to at least 40g before bed. I gotta adapt eventually right? Its better not to cut my protein short anyway.

Kongs are good. Been bringing some of those new Designer Bonanzas with me to lab also, they taste great. I have labs all fucking summer...

I do the exact same thing bro! and I toss in about 10almonds, some splenda, and some ice.....nice thick shake!

Anyone ever tried muscle milk or any of the new protein mass gainers at night w/o hoarding fat?

Agree with you 100% Bro. You have it completely figured out and I'm glad I'm not alone on this one.

Never hated any company in all my life until I wised up to supplement companies and how they're taking the piss out of BB's telling us exaggurated B.S about all the supplements we need just to take more of our hard earned cash.
