hey what do you guys recommend to have to eat before bed?
at the moment i try to get something to eat before bed.
it is usually nuts eggs or a protein shake(whey)
i am thinking about getting casien/milk protein to have before bed
also this website (http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/bedtime.htm)recommends to have cottage cheese before bed but i don’t like it but i might just have to man up and have it
I’m sure anything will work.
for years i used a casein shake right before bed.
these days i have my last meal around 6pm and dont eat until like 7-8am and im doing fine.
you could also maybe do something like a meat before bed.
Agree w/ Paulie. Cottage cheese is nasty, IMO. To make it tolerable throw it in a blender with some vanilla, water, cinnamon, splenda, and peanut butter. Tastes kind of like peanut butter pancakes.
Pussy
Greek yogurt is good, also try putting something like pineapple, almonds, or protein powder in the cottage cheese to make it taste better.
cheers guys for the ideas i will try some.
don’t you think it funny that every trainer will eat every 2-4hours. but then we can allow between 6-12 hours without caring?
at the moment my training is good diet i alright but going to introduce carb cycling and focus more on bedtime nutrition.
check out this question i have also posted ( First Cutting Diet/Carb Cycling - Supplements and Nutrition - Forums - T Nation )
p.s bdock grow up
2 scoops of a mix of casein proteins and eggwhites powder
2 tablespoon of olive oil
50g prots 16g fat
good night
cheers zraw is that what you have then?
Yes it is. I hate eating before bed and I think it sucks lol 
I often have this. It is SO yummy!
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp choc. protein powder
1 tbsp peanut butter
or this is also good if you dont want the peanut butter
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Both make cottage cheese taste awesome but the first one is the best

Exactly lol! Shake takes 10secs. Eating when tired is a chore. I dont like chores
Firstly I count how much protein I’ve eaten for the whole day. Then I’ll top it off with whey. Whey is the cheapest protein source for me. Meh gotta save money somewhere.
Even before I started tracking my #s, I knew enough to use this as my staple pre-bed meal:
Cup of cottage cheese,
Scoop of Protein Powder, (I prefer the Banana Met Drive, but Vanilla gives a nice cheese cake-y flavor)
Half cup of Cashews,
a little cinnamon, and a bit of Splenda
Moosh it all up, grab a small spoon (the real dieting secret of WNBF Pros everywhere! -lol), and dig in

I’ve been liking turkey, ezekial bread w/ grass fed butter, and some eggs before bed. The extra triptophan probably doesn’t hurt the sleep cycle either.

Too bad you aren’t getting any GH though

Man, how do you eat cottage cheese in it’s natural form? That texture makes me gag.
Try Trader Joe’s brand. It’s very smooth and practically textureless! I used to gag down the traditional chunky stuff too. Always willing to force feed something that has benefits outweighing the inconveniences, but if there’s an alternative, definitely take it!

Used straight casein powder for years, then stopped(forget why). Immediately started sleeping better, and magically didn’t waste away, so I’ve never gone back to it.
My favorite bedtime meal is a mixed green salad w/vinagrette and a dozen almonds, and a berry greek yogurt with ground berry flavored flax seed ( tastes like pie!) That with ZMA and I sleep like a rock and never wake starving.
