Protein shake before bed

[shaun1988]

Usually have my evening meal no later then 7pm. Always consists of protein and small amount of carbs. Is having a protein shake before bed a good idea??? Preferably 1 scoop 24g protein

If u want a shake before bed go with casein.

I no casein is the best option before bed but is a normal whey very low carb protein powder still not as effective?

It would be fine but casein is better for what you want. Just mix your whey with milk and you'll get some casein from milk. Milk it 80% casein

If you need it to hit your macros, then yeah that'll work.

Perhaps.

No need for it unless you havent hit your protein target though. Body wont go catabolic overnight.

I usually drink about 8-12oz of milk before bed every night.
