I read somewhere on this forum that eating cottage cheese before bed is good for you... Why is it good for you?
Also, what are some foods I can eat right before bed?
Thanks

you can eat anything anytime. its all about how it fits in at the end of the day. cottage cheese has casein protein which is a slower digesting type of protein. just make sure you get in some protein before bed and your good to go. i usually have some type of meat with some fat.

it won't make you fat the way you think, no
as in it wont make you fat just because its after 8:00, or whatever time you are thinking
itll make you fat if you eat more than X, with X being the number of calories your body needs to maintain its current weighthttp://www.3dmusclejourney.com

no worries. its a myth. there are MANY of them that exist in the bodybuilding and nutrition world...
your body doesn't give a **** if its 3 in the morning or 8 at night dude. if you NEED 2500 calories, and you take in 2200, you will not gain weight. you can't. regardless of when.
same as if you NEED 2500, and take in 3000, but all of your 3000 goes in 3 hours before you sleep, you will still gain weight.
make sense?http://www.3dmusclejourney.com

Nonsense!
Your body is repairing itself at night dude, it needs some fuel to go! I always try to allocate a nice amount of carbs for my prebed meal.
Its all about daily totals dude...micromanaging is nowhere near as important. Hit your dailys almost however you'd like and you'll live life easier.http://www.3dmusclejourney.com
