Last meal of the day?

[Flagg]

I always eat whole food as opposed to protein powder or an MRP when possible as long as that food fits into the diet plan that I have for myself. However for my last meal of the day you think a meal of whole food is better to eat before bed or do you think just a plain protein shake would be better or would a medium-carb hi-protein MRP be the way to go before bedtime? Also I guess I should say that currently I am trying to keep the bodyweight I have by training hard and also trying to lower by bf% by doing cardio on my off days from weights. Do you think this is possible? I am 6'4" 231 so I am pretty happy with my weight but I am about 15-16% bf and am trying to get that down to 11-12% as a goal for myself for starters. Should I just realize I won't be able to keep all my muscle and take the hit on bodyweight to get to 11-12% or do you think what I am trying to do is realistic?

I always have a protein shake and a pile of cottage cheese.

cottage cheese is a good choice, just make sure that you include a slow digesting protein source to ensure that you can at least come close to making it through the night without slipping into catabolism

fat free cottage cheese, or 6oz can of tuna

I take protein shake with some fiber pills. Fiber slows digestion, not to mention help your GI tract

[odor007]

I take I****trix in milk (replaces cottage cheese), and a handful of peanuts (gives you slow-digesting fatty acids and protein). Some times I mix it up and have chicken, sometimes tuna, sometimes eggs/egg whites, and sometimes I even have oatmeal with protein mixed in. But keep in mind one should only do all this when bulking - if you're trying to loose fat, I wouldn't take anything before bed. If you must, take a nice protein blend - I****trix would work fine.

ok question....how do you guys eat cottage cheese? There are so many gross things that I just eat cause I need it and don't have a problem but for some awkward reason plain cottage cheese just grosses me out so bad I can never get down enough.

[RippedUp]

Whole food is always better.

Stick with a source of animal protein along with some fats to support hormone production and recovery.

Good choices of foods would be,

- cottage cheese
- almonds/walnuts
- beef
- chicken/turkey/eggs/fish
- avocado
etc.

A portion of veggies on top would be great as well.

[lifting hard]

slow digesting proteins are the best.

You're right, but I doubt any of us eats it alone too often. Personally, I mix mine with canned pineapple. I've heard some mix it with peaches/sugar, etc.

Hm... I've always stayed away from fruits and sugars before bed.... is there a good reason why have fruit or even sugar added to your last meal before bed

Well that's exactly why I only mix mind with a little pineapple, but you really do have to mix it with something to make it edible.

Beef for me and lots of it. Either a porterhouse or a big ass roast or meatballs or chili made with 95% lean ground beef, cooked and strained. Oh, and pizza one night a week. That would be tonight, yes!!

[Blown00Mustang]

I eat half a pint of cottage cheese. I used to mix in some protein poweder, but I could not handle the taste/texture, so I just bumped up my portion size and eat it alone just before bed.

[leobag]

Sometimes I mix a sugar-free ("light") jam with my cottage cheese (no need for real sugars before bed).

Other times I mix a small handful of almonds (this may sound weird, but I think it is tasty).

But I don't really mind the taste of cottage cheese. I don't like it plain, but it doesn't make me gag/cringe or anything.
