Carbs before bed?

[Cliq]

What is the rule of thumb here?

I normally have shake + weetbix/oats before bed..

Even with this i still wake up starving and without the carbs i wake up very early because so hungry..

Is it a good idea to be doing this?

having oats be for bed is good az an offseason thing if competing, you will get good gains but also be putting on sum fat... if your getting hungary during the nyt have a shake =P~

I always eat heaps of carbs before bed and then wake up during the night and have banana and a carb/protein shake.

Heard for max gains best to eat a king sized 'dairy milk' choc bar before bed... :grin:

Seriously. make a protein shake with milk, set your alarm and have around 2am..

whey & milk

well, if you try casein, and milk, you will find that it is a slower realising protein, so it will keep you full for longer.

Or even using casein and whey, it will keep you fuller for longer.

Note: the same rules don't apply for post workout shakes, where you need the nutrients quickly.
