Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below i always wake up in the middle of the night, either to take a piss, or just tossing and turning. my last meal is at 1030pm which is either ff cottage cheese or casein protein, and 4 tbsp of natural pb. when i wake up in the middle of the night, should i take a whey shake or a casein shake?
quick question for protein in the middle of the night

casein will digest slower so that would be ideal for nighttime
yeah, i like cottage cheese too, but casein stil ony last for about 7 hours, and im already eating 1 tub with 4 tbsp of peanut butter before bed. i also rinse it in a strainer so im only left with the pieces of the actual cheese. i think the white liquid is only whey protein and a lot of salt. the peanut butter mixed in there makes up for the taste. im setting my alarm for 330am to wake up to take a piss and to down a casein real quick, then back to sleep.

If ur consuming it at 3:30, and presuming your having breakfast just 4 hours later or there abouts, any animal source would do I'd suspect (beef, chicken, tuna).
You could always have uncooked chicken for you and just have 100 grams or something
BTW, has your gains improved since implementing this nightly regimen?

chicken at 330 in the morning isnt exactly ideal or something i want to do. it's more of a "wake up, use the bathroom, down a shake, and back to bed. i think of it as 7-8 hours of another "window of opportunity" that i dont want to waste. its just things like setting my alarm for 330am, that will become a part of my daily lifestyle.
as far as gains, i think even if i didnt take the shake, i would still be where im at, but like i said, its all the little things that add up, like rinsing ground beef after browning it, and rinsing cottage cheese. at 153, i max out at 250 on a flat bench press. thats 100 pounds over my bodyweight, so im very impressed with the gains as far as strength. as far as weight, its all time, i cant expect much difference from one day to the next, but every week, i expect to be a bit heavier. i just eat, eat, and eat a shitload of food. all clean foods. no bigmacs for me.
u dont need to wash your meat after you brown it. those a re saturated fats that your body needs and having them in your diet will help increase your overall test.
with your current stack u should not be worried about gaining fat.
have you ever seen pro-bodybuilders offseason?
they arent fat but they are big, thick, and full
not as lean and ripped but as big as houses.
they are getting in as much quality protein, healthy fats, and low GI carbs they can to take put on as much size as possible.
not just fat size but quality muscle size.
keep that in mind while you eat and train

Gotcha. thanks dude. i thought the beef was lean enough but it was just something else that i thought would make it leaner. i remember gaurdian telling me his meaning of "lean meat", which is chicken, turkey, fish, tuna or 90% or higher ground beef, and he owuld eat steaks on occasions

You could always just do a glass of milk, or whey with peanut butter.
