Hey guys I was wondering if it is a good idea to take protein powder right before you sleep. I have been taking it thinking that it'd be good to give my body protein to work with while i sleep, but I also know that eating right before bed can cause excess fat etc... What do you think..?

I use whey before bed. Casein's overrated imo.
Plus your body is still digesting food you've been eating normally throughout the day, so a "slow digesting source" blah blah blah via a supplement isn't really neccessary for those who have high caloric intakes and eat tons day in day out. Food itself takes ages to get used anyway.
And no, eating before bed doesn't automatically turn you into a fatty. You'd think people would have moved past that point by now lol I wanna know where this **** starts so i can put a shotty up it's ass and finish it off for good.Last edited by Simmo0508; 05-06-2009 at 11:10 PM.

sometimes if i have a hard lift day (legs or back/deads squats etc) i will have a protein shake with skim plus and peanut butter right before bed.(40+ grams protein!)
but if you are looking to keep the excess fat away, and don't want to waste your precious protein powder, then get yourself a large container of good old-fashioned no-fat cottage cheese. Its something like 13-18 grams per 1/2 cup serving (depending on brand)
I will usually choke down 1/2 cup - 1 cup of no-fat cottage cheese during my cutting months (march-august) right before bed. Also it is easy on the stomach. Whey is quickly digested, and right before bed it may keep you up. The only down-side is the taste IMO. Otherwise, its cheap, easy on the stomach, great source of slow-absorbing protein[QUOTE=DeadSonRising;102734791]lets see your vid then brotha,

LOL sorry but i really did LOL when I read this..."it has **** in that is meant to work on your body as you sleep" I think you mean that MM has some fat and also has casien in there which slows the digestion process. No offense bro and not making fun of no one, just dont hear stuff like that too often, I needed a laugh
