Do you wake up for a protein shake then go back to bed?
me too. I eat every 2-3 hours throughout the day so I see no need to interupt my sleep to eat at night.Nope, I don't wake up through the night anyway so I just take a casein shake before I goto bed.
experts in sleep dont have diabetic cats that are DYING TO EAT AT 4AM~!@#(()!@#!@i do if i get up. experts in sleep say to get 8 hrs strait without any interuptions or noise. if i do get up in the middle of the night ill get a shake. (if im concious enough to relize it)
What should I consume during my Mid Sleep Meal?
I advice setting the alarm in mid sleep, and having a shake next to your bed. I typically mix a mixture of EAAs for caloric efficiency, with a protein powder. To slow digestion I consume EPA in the form of fish oil pills. Further, I include HMB to further hinder protein degradation, as well as glutamine. Shoot for at least 3 grams of leucine here.
If you want to slightly slow digestion, but keep calories low, have EAAs, and consume only a small amount of cottage cheese, such as a fourth cup. The opioid peptides in it should slow gastric emptying.
Sample Pre and MidSleep Meal
Pre Bed
1 cup cottage cheese
1 to 2 scoops of amino acid shooter
fish oil pills amounting to at least a 1 to 1.5 grams of EPA
1 gram of HMB
5-10 grams of glutamine
Mid Sleep
10 grams of essential amino acids, containing at least 3 grams of leucine to restore protein synthesis
¼ cup casein
1 to 1.5 grams of EPA
1 gram of HMB
5-10 grams of glutamine
Hell no! That's what Casein is for.Do you wake up for a protein shake then go back to bed?
x365757I would NEVER fall back to sleep if I did that.
Why would you do that? EAt cottage cheese before bed, it takes roughly 6 hours to digest and if you mix if with fat then it take even longer. No need to interrupt sleep, it you have a good diet you'll have all the protein you need from daily meals. Sleep isn't a time where you use any energy so provided you get enough protein in the day 1 gram/lbs of bw you're fine.
