Cottage cheese before bed?

[bran88]

I've been eating it about 30 mins before bed for the past couple of nights. A few guys at the gym said it's a great/lean protein source that helps aid the catabolic state your body under goes when you sleep. What is your input on this guys?

it is a casein protein. that makes it a good choice but you would need a lot to get a whole meals worth. eggs are also a good one. real food is better shakes are easier.

cottage cheese before bed is fine. the less fat content the better.

Well are eggs ideal before bed?

I eat it every single night before bed bro... It's slow digesting along with a scoop of Casein.

agreed....casien+NPB= slow digestion and a steady flow of nutrients to your muscles while you are sleeping for growth

Why is olive oil ideal before bed as well?

 

[cobracock1979]

extra calories, good fat, slows digestion of the protein

Ok, awesome to know man. Should I just mix some olive in with a cup of cottage cheese?

I now do 3 scoops of casein a night with 5g Omega-3. I stay full pretty much the whole night.
