pre bed time meal

[trainlikeafreak]

hey guys, just interested to see what some of you eat before going to sleep at night when building? i have 1 cup of porridge with 1 scoop of whey and 3 or so egg whites when im bulking. i used to have whole eggs but not at the moment

[Monkey Man]

Now that im cutting I have some fruit, but back when I was bulking. OH MAN! pancakes, french toast-all just depended how many calories/macros I had left

and that's why your cutting now.

Nah I didn't gain too much fat, just had a slight calorie excess-gaining about 1 to 2kg a month

25 almonds

4 large T of cottage cheese

so you would just eat high in sugar, calorie dense foods at the end of the day and before bedtime if you hadnt consumed all your daily calories/macros for that day? thats not how you build muscle bro.

anyway to answer the question most people will say to have some kind of casein protein.. which can come as a protein powder, cottage cheese or milk

[Monkey Man]

Why not? Is that because of the apparant effect on growth hormone at night time? This is my second bulk and i've had better strength and (I think) muscle gains in this one-my last bulk was 100%, similar calories/macros etc.

I mean I ate 'clean' probably 80% of the time in my last bulk primarily for energy and general health, but followed the IIFYM approach to an extent.

I have listen that eating before going to bed is not good for health. Before listening this I was eat so much at night and go to bed to sleep and now I just drink a glass of milk with egg and nothing.

i change it eh...sometimes some cottage cheese by itself...other times ill put a scoop of protein there

sometimes protein plus some p.butter...pretty much stuff that takes a while to digest i guess

[Lyndon]

Can of tuna!

[severe]

Can of tuna!

Damn straight. repped.

[bang_bang]

i mix a can of sealord tuna in olive oil with a tub of cottage cheese in a bowl and put half of it back in the cottage cheese tub for the next night. i actually enjoy it its a surprisingly tasty 35g of casein protein goodness and the olive oil slows down digestion further.. well it sounds good in theory anyway i usually throw in some potato or kumara as well

solid i do this too sometimes

[crazyfacials]

ditto (the first part anyway , cottage cheese and tuna that is)

[rocky85]

hate cottage cheese on its own, but one cup with a scoop of choc whey blended goes all good before bed :wink:

[jerume]

I have a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and add Anchor Calcitrim to my regular whey protein shake.

[muscle99]

I can't stand eating within 2hrs of going to bed so I don't

[NZhredder]

i just have 600ml milk and 2scoops of casein.

90g~ protein

30g~ carbs
