    Last meal before bed Fish or Whey?


    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 ****s 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.

    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?

    Damn, now I have to go to the store when i get out of class, get some ground beef and cook it up tonight, way to go guys. Honestly if I could afford it I would probably do something like the anabolic diet or ckd and eat ground beef all the time.
    When you guys eat at night, as opposed to drinking a shake, do you notice you have a hard time getting to sleep.

    I've been told that eating a lot of food before bed does effect a good nights sleep but i haven't really noticed it. i usually get quite tired anyway after a big meal.

    Ill eat 3 eggs and 2 tbsp of flax before bed usually 1-1.5 hours before bed (sometimes will have ground beef if I'm out of eggs) and have no problems falling asleep or staying asleep. Couldn't agree with you more on the CKD. Just started up and loving the ground beef and eggs, plus 800 gram carb Saturdays are going to be the ****.

    ^ I prepared my last round of ground beef patties with a few eggs mixed in before throwing them on the grill. Good stuff.

    I don't have any trouble sleeping after eating, but it's not like I'm gorging either.
