Feel Like I've Shrunk Every Morning after Sleep

[athlete.03]

Your muscles will be smaller in the morning for a simple reason: when you sleep the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. The part of this process that you're concerned with is caused by the movement blood from your muscles to your internal organs. It's part of homeostasis. You don't undergo significant atrophy in your sleep. M'kay.

Protein builds and rebuilds tissues, fats regulate hormone production. The best combo before bed would be cottage cheese with something like natural peanut butter, or olive oil.

Milk and egg protein and liver tablets, and a little fish oil, would work fine too.

Also noone needs more than 50 grams of protein before bed, steroids or no steroids thats alot of protein at a time when your metabolism is slowing down, most people would be fine with 20-35 grams protein and 10-16 grams fat.

Jubei, what do you think about fats before bed? I have a fast metabolism, so I eat about 40-50g of real food protein and about 40g of complex carbs before bed to keep from shrinking. I take in almost no fat before bed. What about adding some olive oil and an omega3 cap?

Also, I drink a ton a water before bed. Sometimes I wake up feeling like a have to piss, but I just go back to sleep. My bladder is industrial strength. I wake up in the morning and piss forever. My wife is always amazed. Never have to take a piss at night.

I personally don't see any need to supplement with additional fat, especially before bed. I usually eat high fat foods like eggs for breakfast though. 50g of protien from cottage cheese would be pretty close to ideal IMO.

Even if you don't piss, you can still exhale 1-3lbs of moisture in your breath as you sleep - not to mention sweating it out (Dbol night sweats - RRRGGHHH!
