what do you most of you guys eat prior to falling asleep?
If you do eat, how many hours/mins prior to sleeping?
Do any of you guys take a protein shake? I heard it is better to use milk at night time with your protein

I usually have a can of tuna and a few egg whites. Once and a while I'll throw in an oz of reduced fat cheese in instead of the whites, or I'll have some low GI carbs like veggies. It's also good to get your EFA's in, so nuts or PB are a good choice as well.
Milk is good at night because it's a slower absorbing protein due to the casein content. You can put it in your shake, or use a protein powder that is casein based.
Normally I eat my last meal about 10-30 mins before bed, otherwise I wake up hungry.

1.) Cottage cheese...can't beat it.
2.) Depends on the meal. I try to avoid high fat or high carb meals anywhere near bedtime.
3.) It really depends on the protein. Milk contains casein which is a slower digesting protein. It will help your shake last longer in your body.

I eat a 1/2 cup of no salt added cottage cheese, a little over 1 oz almonds and as a treat, some sugar free jello.

can you guys stop saying 'last meal'? it's really freakin me out cuz it sounds like you're dying. Anyway, my pre-sleep meal usually a peanut butter sandwich with wholemeal bread and definetely a glass of whey protein in milk. Will also use cottage cheese from now onwards...although it's the grossest tasting food ever.

Try grilling the PB&J sandwich with PAM or something, I tried it and actually liked it. A little messy, but good.Originally posted by JustJuice
