ok, lets say you get home from work. You're tired and it's getting late. You still have quite a few more calories you need to get in but you have to wake up on time in the morning. You need at least two more meals. You also haven't taken nearly enough protein for today.

What do you think would be best to do? Eat or Sleep?

If you choose to eat, then you will get that needed protein and calories for bulking but will probably only get about 5 hours of sleep.

If you sleep, then you miss out on your eating goals for the day.

How long does it take to drink some milk and have some eggs? Eat these before you go to bed and your protein requirements are fulfilled.

[jmh80]

I'd say protein shake.

But - if I'm forced to choose - then sleep.

You should be able to take down a protein shake, maybe some fat free cottage cheese, and a couple tbsp of pb if so you desire in less than 10 min.

An easy 50g of protein and 400 calories.

there you go, i dont see why you would lose that much sleep in doing this..

Protein shake and a serving of Healthy Cheat Foods cold Pancakes MRP in the car on the way home from work (about 900 calories) stacked with some REM from USP Labs and you are good to go

The goal should be to not end up in a situation like that.

I'd probably chug some milk and pass out if I was that tired. If I had more time, a little peanut butter, cheese, bread, fruit, whatever is quick.

Smoke a bowl, EAT EAT EAT EAT, Pass out. REPEAT ;-)

[Irish_Rogue]

5 hrs is more than enough sleep, you more than likely lost out on some rest typing the questions whilst you should have been eating.

[f18jock]

Takes 5 minutes to wolf down a half a tub of cottage cheese, eat a tablespoon or two af peanut butter and a cup of milk and your all set.

[Skigazzi]

Worst case, slam down some milk...better case, slam down some milk and peanut butter....

But to play along...Id eat, and skimp on sleep for that ONE night...I'll have plenty of time to sleep when Im dead.

[WannaBeHulk]

in a hypothetical situation where you have to choose to eat or sleep, id say sleep. 1 day of a reduced calorie intake wont make any difference with strength or size. these goals are accomplished over long time periods.

edit: haha, just realized this thread was old

[warnerve]

luckily, i've never had to face this decision

There's beenplenty of times i don't sleep till 1:30 2 and wake up at 7-8. Sometimes i come home at 11-11:30, Change, eat shake,carbs(bulk), fruit, water, PB, and hit the sack. This is not hard to handle at all. I have woken up after 5 hours feeling tired and other times ready for the world. I have noticed even on minimal sleep, after my shake, and breakfast i feel swoll.

[bishop17]

Is 5 hours enough sleep??
