i know some people who do it with good results i don not and would not recomend it unless you naturally get up in the middle of the night i think a good night sleep is more important just make sure before you go to sleep you get some kind of slow digesting protien and healthy fats and you shoukd be ok hope this helps bro

this is a good point, although some will do anything to achieve a positive nitrogen balance.

yup! Eat right before bed, and you're good to go!

Don't be too anal

Waking up intentionally in the middle on the night is not wise

COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!! I hate when people think carbs are evil!!!

This is ESPECIALLY kep if you train in the evening...........persoanally, I tend to go with high protein and fat, but thats just becuase its what I crave late night.........I've been known to fall asleep watching the game with a bowl of peanuts, a large casein shake, and some cottage cheese on my lap..........I need to stop eating laying down! LOL..........
