I'm in Search of the perfect pre-bed meal.....train late, and need something to get me through the night....maybe 15 minutes before crashing......tried shakes, peanuts, and veggies....just dont hold me over.........anyone have a good choice?

I was thinking maybe some oats and casein


or maybe a fat ANPB and Jelly sammich????????

Glycerlean and water CLA

I eat this right before going to bed only on training days. Protien and fats, hardly any carbs. I wake up feeling great the next day. If I dont eat this before bed on training days, I wake up starving and weak. I consume carbs as soon as I wake up.

Pre-bedtime meal
2 fillets of sole. Cooked in extra-v olive oil, with minced garlic and ginger. 1 additional tb of Udos choice EFA blend. 1 large glass of atkins milk (not to large though, I hate waking up to piss in the middle of the night). 2 Solaray multis and a B-Complex.

The sole fillets take me 2 mins to cook. They are cheap and tasty.

I thought you were trying to add as much muscle mass as possible on this diet. I am looking at your carbs after workout and there hardly is any. You need to up your carbs dude. The first two meals after you workout should supply about 1/2 of your total carb intake for the day. You want the muscle then you need the carbs post workout. You need at least 100 grams carbs right after your workout and then again 2 hours later. You can actually go 90 minutes later and then squeeze one more meal with no carbs before bed.

Since I train so close to bed, (I'm in bed by 9:30 because I have to be up at 430), I take in most of my carbs during the day to fuek my workout. Then I get my quick carbs immidiately following, and then the cottage cheese , peanuts, etc. to aid in musle repair............protein and fats are of the concern just before bed.........

Your muscles will store the carbs and you will have a bigger pump all the time. Just trying to help. My wife eats 75 grams of carbs each meal after she works out for 2 meals. She is growing like a weed.

You would be surprised at how much more muscle you will put on if you eat more carbs after you lift. In fact you will be shocked. 10 years of doing this I know.

 

[JKurz1]

I hear you bro and am not disputing that in any way..............do you know what 75g of carbs feels like in your stomach 10 minutes before bed????????? lol.....do you guys train late? It's not even late, it's just that it's so damn close to bed............

You won't have any carbs in your stomache. You would have your 100 grams glucose with your whey at 6 P.M. and then about 7:30 you could have say 6 servings mashed potatos or rice to give you 100 more grams carbs and your choice of protein and then at 9:30 slam down a protein shake with flax oil. I go to be immidiately after taking my night protein shake and have no problems.

I also don't take any fat with my 2 post workout meals. I want to produce as much insulin as possible and shuttle the carbs and protein into the muscle. More anabolic.

I do train early in the day, however I used to train at the same time as you do and it still seemed to work just fine. If you don't have any fat with your 2 after workout meals your meals will digest faster and therefore you could have a 3rd meal right before bed.

there is nothing wrong with eating right before bed.

Another thing is if you have carb loaded you know where I am comming from. I have carb loaded over 30 times and you basically are doing a mini carb load after you lift for a couple meals. YOur recovery time will be much better along with greater strength increases. You will thank me later. I havent seen many women who are 5'1" and have 26 inch legs@20% bf.

I know it has worked for both my wife and I. I also know it has worked for many others. Remember we are athletes and you need to eat like one. The most important time of the day to eat is after you have beaten your body to death in the gym.

Thanks bro...I'm gonna stick with the cottage cheese, peanuts and casein (milk)...just easier to digest for me...I can eat it two minutes before bed and be ok...............I'm still getting my simple cards PW, but the last thing on my mind is a full meal an hour later..........cant stomach it.........
