Dieting Question NUTRITION

[MGreen11]

Dear EL TEAM

Now that I'm on my cycle, is it okay to eat high protein before I sleep, or will my body convert that into fat? Should I stay away from foods before napping or bedtime? Or are there just certain foods I can't have. Thanks everyone!

Have a slow releasing protein before bed. Casein works fine there.

it's either cottage cheese, fat free milk, or eggs (scrambled) for me

Cottage Cheese for sure is th best night time snack followed by some casein protein to help prevent your body from eating away at your muscles.

Casein protein is a slow-digesting protein because it forms a “gel” in the gut, which results in a steady release of amino acids into the blood stream over time. Research shows that when you consume casein, you will reach a peak in blood amino acids and protein synthesis between three to four hours. The total release of amino acids in the bloodstream, however, can last as long as 7 hours after ingestion of casein protein. Whey protein, in comparison, reaches a peak in blood amino acids and protein synthesis in about forty minutes and the total release ends in about an hour.
