Best Food to Eat Before Bedtime

[rolinhgh]

hey bro's what do u think is the best food to eat before going to bed. I myself usually drink a protein shake or eat a bunch of noodles. what do u guys usually eat before hitting the hay?
what is really the best food to eat before going to bed to help keep u lean?

 

[BASSET]

Cottage cheese mixed with yogurt

a bunch of noodles is definately not the way to go. too much carbs. u never want to have an abundance of carbs before bed if you're trying to get lean. the biggest reason being carbs promote insulin secretion. higher insulin levels while sleeping is not a good thing because although insulin is anabolic to muscles, it can help u store excess fat as well. something high in protein with a lil fat to keep u satisfied is what i would take. i agree with basset on the cottage cheese, but if you are really trying to get lean i would cut out the yogurt.

4 scoops of triple threat with 10 grams of flax mixed in water
yum

6 oz. lean beef and two tablespoons flax oil. You don't want an insulin rush while sleeping and the red meat digests pretty slowly.

noodles are an awful choice

just a protein shake in water- 170 cal, 30 gr. protein, 5 grams carbs...

i agree with the majority here. I would try to get in some sort of form of slow digesting portein. I prefer eating some casein before bed i.e. cottage chees or if i dont have any in the house i just slam done a caseine shake with some flax.

But imho the comments about no carbs before bed are just humbug, what is the magic about 6 p/m that any carbs eaten after that time turn magically into fat? Just go with some slow digesting prot. you can even add some carbs if u want. No biggie
