Protein Before Bed... Yes or No

[kpottie]

I was wondering if it's ok to eat protein before you go to bed, or should you avoid it

[Cumulonimbus]

Sure why not?

Cool, cause today was my off day but i'm probably going to have a can of tuna before bed wondering if it was the right thing to do since it's an off day

shouldn't be any different from having a regular dinner before bed in my opinion.

Keep calories the same everyday, don't bother with carb/calorie cycling because what matters in reality is the net add up overtime, i.e throughout a week(s). If you are an active trainee nutrient partitioning should be in your favor. You are recovering and growing on your off days, so supply your body the nutrients it requires.

I keep my protein the same on my off days and workout days. On my workout days I have a Casein protein shake about an hour and a half before bed.

No need to be exactly casein, just have what ever, Steak, eggs, chicken, yogurt, whey, etc.

I eat every 3 hours - and before bed I have a 300g pot of cottage cheese which stops me getting hungry in the night as it slowly releases proteins.
