Last meal before bed Fish or Whey?

**AlexParty** · 03-23-2008, 07:41 PM

I usually have 2 fillet fish with a cup of broccoli 30-45 minutes before bed. I was wondering if I took a Protein shake/casein/Time released, would it make a difference between a shake and whole food, and if anyone else does this?

A rich EFA fish fillet and broccoli is one of the best pre bed meals you could take in. Most people that take in casein shakes before bed for ease/taste (I personally don't like fish too much so I just throw down some cc flax and broccoli but same principle.) Also when you say make a difference do you mean in gaining muscle or loosing fat? both?

Whole foods are preferential 99% of the time, and this subject falls into that category.

Agree with OCC - stick with what you have. That's a darn good meal.

Cool sounds good. I was gonna get Dymatize elite protein because it was time released...

Ya forgot to add I also take down a tablespoon of flax oil with my last meal and to answer OCC I guess it's for both. Obviously to gain muscle with little fat as possible.

Just make a fish shake....

On a serious note I doubt your meal vs a shake is going to make a huge difference, the only thing I ever notice is that I usually get some energy after eating a meal, but with a shake i really don't.

Well I think avoiding a shake before bed is better in the sense that I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night for a piss. That shits so annoying, I can never ever get a straight 8 hr sleep without getting up to take a piss in the middle of the night. I think I will stop drinking water after 8 or something.

The fish shake sounds good pmiller

I've made a tuna, orange juice and olive oil shake before

What about fish with whey sauce?

Fvk'n-A right.

I grow better if I eat nothing before bed and sleep 6 hours straight than I do if I get all the liquid protein I need and have to get up to piss every hour throughout the night.

Whole food is my preference as well.

I eat 1/2lb. 93% lean ground beef before bed. How does that fair against other foods?
