Protein shake before bed

[benjamin198911]

Ive read about how whey is useless before bed

Im using a weight gainer, 35g protein in it
It also has 1000 cals per shake

Bad idea for gaining muscle?

Cheers

Not if it fits your macros.

You don't need a protein shake before you go to bed. Your body doesn't actually go catabolic overnight. Focus on hitting your daily macro and calorie totals and you will be fine.

I'm thinking he means any type of protein. Meaning, you can take it any time, taking before bed is fine same as taking in the AM, post workout, etc.

Lol. Weights + food is what puts on muscle. OP might as well use the gainer, then not buy it again.

Whole food carbs = cheap
Supplement carbs = expensive

Whole food protein = expensive (sort of)
Supplement protein = cheap (whey)

That is why most people say to supplement protein, but gainers are a waste of money.

Whey is not useless before bed, per se. However, you do not need it before bed nor will you notice any additional benefits in taking it before bed as compared to any other time throughout your day.

Make sure you are consuming the proper amount of calories to ensure quality weight gain (read:muscle).
