Food Before Bed?

[MASSIVEMONSTER]

this is a wierd Q but what does everyone eat before bed?
There is no point having a shake as it is in and out in a few hours but i can never be bothered to make a meal when i am all tired just before bed and often wind up eating some whole wheat cereal and a shake for a quick answer. anyone else?

Tuna is a good snack before bed, whey protein shake..But it depends for someone thats small and trying to gain it would be different I know guys that will it about 5 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before bed

Usually I have some Cottage cheese mixed with a spoon or two of no carb yogurt and some fat like natural peanut butter or a few almonds.

When dieting I don't eat a few hrs before bedtime, but when training for size I always try to pound 12 egg whites w/ ketchup and tabasco just before bed along with a small bowl of cereal with flax seeds. I'll even wake up half way through the night and down a protien drink sometimes (only if I wake up feeling hungry).

I always eat right before I go to sleep regardless whether I'm dieting or not. As the bro above stated my fav is cottage cheese. Cottage cheese has whey and casein protein, so it's a slow release over 8 hours. It also has a great amino acid profile, it's low in carbs, and moderate fat. Perfect for before bed. You could also have an MRP that has casein. You don't want to eat just whey before going to sleep since it will be metabolized very quickly.

I work from 11pm till 8am so my schuedule really blows it's all backwards, I go to the gym right after work, so I down a protein shake and a small breakfast then it's bedtime, nothing better than sleeping during the day.....ya right it sucks

in my humble opinion the best thing you can take before bed is some EFA's/policosinol and a casin protein shake.

Cottage cheese + tuna, sounds gross and it is a little bit but not after some cayenne red pepper and hot sauce.

Cottage cheese is awesome before bed, excellent source of casein with little fat.
