Protein for bedtime

[PancakeFiend]

i'm crazy, or too lazy to cook, either way, sometimes i knock down a protein shake w/ a couple of raw eggs...

Wow, Body sure as hell seems to know his stuff. What other foods, other than steak and eggs, would be good to eat before bed to keep you in an optimal enviorment for releasing growth hormones and keeping insulin levels stable?

Since is was mentioned. I eat whole food AND whey before bed. Whole food is always better, IMO. I was responding to a Q about shakes.

hmm...if you are trying to grow don't worry about your hormone levels, just f'ing eat...obviously a whole food with a slower digesting protein is a plus but so are carbs, you WANT your insulin to spike so that the protein you consumed gets shuttled to cells.

I like natural pb and bannana on whole wheat plus a big glass of milk and 8-10 egg whites with 2-3 yolks scrambled with cheese

why not just wake up midle of the night, that way you are sure to never be catabolic. thats what ive been doing.

You wouldnt believe the difference this makes. The wife has questions when she finds me at 1:30am, basking in refridgerator light with a piece of cold steak in my had though.


P.S. -- Any info from A&M can't be wrong! Good info BBF!

For now, I'm eating either eggs or tuna plus a glass of milk at bedtime. Soon I will probably look into getting some protein from proteinfactory or somewhere to mix with the milk. Thanks for all the replies guys.

I buy a blend from proteincustomizer.com that is 50% casien, 25% egg white, and 25% milk protein, and make a shake with flax oil... Perfect thing to stay anti-catabolic overnight.

Legion some cheese and a 3 fish oil tabs would make a good combo also if you don't wish to cook something.

Hi Body , you seem very knowledgable. Is it really true that soy increases estrogen. I take about 15 grams of protein isolate once a week is that considered chronic and what will I become if I continue ? ( eg. get female characteristics?)

Oh, and I think consuming cottage cheese before bed is nice, it has high protein, moderate fats, and super low carbs. Mix it up with some cold strawberries and a treat before bed voila!

BB:S are always getting scientific these days! I have a large glass of whole milk a banana and two slices of dark bread with tuna on.

Tuna kicks ass!
