Really i thought a slow digesting protein before bed was good

It's a supplement company scam. Protein takes anywhere up to 72hours in some cases to fully digest.

Nope. You don't even have to eat anything before bed. If you are in a calorie surplus, then you are going to be in an anabolic state. If you enjoy cottage cheese at night, that's fine. I think it tastes great mixed with whey.

Alright cool because cottage cheese is just awesome. Just one more question what about drinking whey protein right after waking up? Good or not?

It's not necessary no. Nor is drinking one post workout.

That's the most important time is post workout

That's the most important time is post workout

The anabolic window is about 24 hours.

Hey guys I'm new to this site and I'm trying to get some good tips and opinions on my diet. I have been working out for 2 years now. I'm 19 years old, 6'3 and weight 185lbs and about 9% body fat. I'm trying to gain lean mass. Here's my diet

Meal 1- 2/3 cup of oats, 1 large egg, 3 egg whites, 1 banana
Add a serving of protein to the oats here ^^^^ Use wheytobuildmuscle banana works great for this
Snack- protein bar, handful of almonds
the protein bard you are using I am sure is useless have a better protein bar and skip the nuts you will not need them trust me. This will give you more and better cals with more protein
Meal 2- 6" chicken breast sandwich on wheat bread, bag of backed lays chips
Cut the crap with the chips I mean really bro??? add more chicken
Meal 3- 2 cans of tuna, 1 cup of wheat pasta, carrots
cut out the pasta add 5 caps of gear
Before workout- 1 cup of oats, 1/4 cup of egg whites, 1/2 cup of skim milk, 1 tbsp of peanut butter (oatmeal pancakes 45 min before workout)
PWO shake- whey protein, 3 tbsp dextrose
Meal 5- 8oz chicken breast, sweet potato, green beans
add more chicken
Before bed- scoop of whey
replace with N2bulk shake from mrsupps.com
I did they best I could to calculate it out.
2554 calories. 60g fat. 280g carbs 271g protein.
I should prob up the fat grams. But any tips would be greatly appreciated if you guys can help. Thanks

Why would you recommend more protein when he is already consuming well above what is actually needed for optimal growth?

Hey, thanks a lot needtogetaas! Is there a specific protein bar that you recommend I eat for the snack?
