Bed time protein????

[jfunk316]

What type of protein do you take before bed time? Ex. whole foods, shake, etc...

I used to take a cassein shake always before bed but have recently switched to the following:

1 scoop whey protein (TP - Strawberries N Cream)
5 tbs. chocolate LBA's
8 oz. Milk

This tastes so GOOD and makes me feel like I'm cheating at night time. I'll even throw in ice and or fruit sometimes to make a smoothie. I haven't noticed any loss in recovery in fact I think I'm recovering better now than I was on the cassein (diff brand, etc...)

I used to take a casein based protein, well known product but won`t name it as they don`t endorse me I noticed the difference, holding the muscles while dieting, it`s too costy though.
For over a year I have been eating, especially during the contest prep this:
1 tbsp of natural peanut butter( no salt or sugar added) mixed with 2 tbsp of unflavoured whey protein (80%) and water. Mix it into a paste, add some canderel sweetener. It tastes good and is slow release. Chocolate whey works too but had got carbs in. I prefer unflavoured almost zero carb whey.
I eat one before bedtime, and one whenever I wake up at night. As I diet try to keep as much muscles as possible. This seem to work for me. I ocassionaly use flaxeed oil instead of pb.

Since whey is a faster acting and casin a slower acting protein, What would you think is best before bed?

For someone that doesn't enjoy the taste of cottage cheese, how could I mix it or incorporate it to use it still?

Nice, that sounds like it would sweeten it up pretty good. Thanks!

Or you can add a packet of no carb jelly (jello) to the cottage cheese for almost a berry cheesecake type taste mmmmm

I think a mix of both pesty and we would get the best of both worlds. I have 6 whole eggs before bed as my body breaks it down slow giving me a steady flow of aminos. Another good choice would be steak, if I had to choose a shake it would be a blend of slow and fast release protein. The best casin on the markek is miticular casin

Isopure, about 1/2 bottle (20 grams). Then, if I wake up during the night to pee or whatever, I take a few swigs, too.
