[gixxer]

just a question ... do they sell caseine or egg protein like whey??
if yes ,,, what brands are out there?

wsup Gymtime? sorry i didn't understand the first post. Well here's my $0.02 on it. Considering the small amount of time whey is in and out of your body i wouldn't make it my before bed shake and post workout shake. Let me explain... After a workout you are most catabolic the first four hours. And after that is a gradual process back.

Considering that... you need to maintain anabolism for at least a few hours at the bare minimum IMO. I would say take a whey shake post workout for sure. And the meal after that if you want to stick to powders use eggs and/or cassein. If not you can also make it an all protein meal, just make it small. You want something that's going to cover you for the night, especially in your case since you're working out at this time.

I can't sleep well (if at all) with food in my stomach. Does anyone else have this problem? I've always thought sleeping with food in your stomach gives you indigestion...

foods that don't agree with your body or digestion process give you indigestion.

your stomach doesn't know that the brain is alseep.

Thats true... I guess it might be that I have problems digesting food while lying down, maybe its not natural for foods to digest foods in this position? Or maybe I'm just wierd and am the only one with this problem...

I can't go to sleep w/out a little something in my stomach. I'll toss and turn and eventually drink my protein shake and then i could fall asleep.

if you don't fell well when going to bed with a whey or casein shake in the stomach,
why don't you eat .... just real food (ie tuna, chicken ... as solid food) ?

 

[DaCypher]

Well, I meant that I am uncomfortable when I lay down soon after eating pretty much anything (protein shake or real food).

 

[anthrax]

you could try not to eat that much before bed
but wake up in the middle of the night for something to eat/drink
