Bedtime Protein Question

[Neo22]

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.

right whole foods are always better than suppliments. What a lot of guys on here don't understand is that suppliments are meant to SUPPLIMENT your diet. They are not meant to BE your diet.

Dude, you hit the nail on the head. Congratulations!!! I'm a big proponent of whole foods. You should only supplement what you can't get enough of in whole foods. Sometimes it is cost-effective to use the supps.

TRUE....however......prebed, I dont want a full stomach!!! Casein shake works wonders.....

I like my egg/casein blend, with some natty PB for healthy fats. Egg/casein takes like 6hrs to digest, and I have some fats too, lasts most of the night. If I do wake up hungry, I suck down 20g's of liquid egg whites now, takes like 10 seconds, I love it!

how do liquid egg white's taste? i haven't taken that plunge yet but i can imagine it would be easier than eating cups of cottage cheese.

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

Yes my shake is 40g protein per serving and 30 servings. Costs $27. Thats $0.90 per shake, less expensive than cottage cheese. Another way to put it my shakes are just over $.02/gram protein and cottage cheese is $.04/gram protein.

True.. the only protein supps I eat are out of convenience... like not having a fridge in my room so I leave a shake next to my bed or right after practice having shake in locker...

liquid egg whites taste like shit but so does everything else we eat... Just open your throat and let it go down...

Also if you eat uncooked eggwhites w/o the yellows you need a biotin supplement. Atleast 25mg/eggwhite.

So what do you guys think of ON's anabolic milk or Muscle milk pre-bed?

Even if I'm bulking, my goal for my bedtime meal is quality protein/good fats only...not calories in general. I would personally never use muscle milk before bed, but thats just me.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Jay Cutler wake up every 3hrs during the nite to eat. If it is a good source of Protein ie: Cottage Cheese or a Protein Shake your body is going to use the protein for muscle recovery and strength. So I say drink up
