Whey protein before bed?

[bearfan3420]

lately ive been using 1 scoop of ons whey protein before bed along with cottage cheese and a english muffin..

I tkae the whey w/ milk to slow the absorbtion down.. Is that ok, like will i still be getting some good protein with the whey for before bed?


Also, can i just take my whey w/ water..It doesnt upset my stomach as much and it goes down better..But dont you piss away more of it when we use water?

Casein is better before bedtime as it is slow digesting, but a good Whey Isolate will be fine also. Water is much better than milk IMO, because of the hormones and antibiotics they give the cows now a days, then they pasturize and homoginize it. If you going to drink milk soy is a better choice IMO. I believe your body will absorb what it wants to regardless of water or milk.

They give antibiotics to chickens not cows.

If u have an isolate or concentrate take it with milk to slow absorption down

I also would recommend to mix it with milk as it slows down absorption time...
Moreover I would avoid ANY Soy product, as there are pyhtoestrogens in it. I remember there was a study saying that if you drink a certain amount of soy milk a day (I think it was 1 ltr.) you would take up as much estrogen as it is in an anti-babypill.
So would you swallow an anti-babypill each day??? :-)

Soy has many health benefits associated with it. And you will be at your optimum when your healthy. Yes, taken in large amounts it has been known to encourage estrogen production, but contrary to popular demand estrogen isn't the enemy. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bigcat8.htm

I take a scoop of whey protein before bedtime. If you get a good night's sleep, your body is working while you sleep to recover from the day. Of course, I also take it with a spoon of psyllium fiber so that I can drop the Cosby kids off at the pool first thing in the morning.

you have a point in saying that "estrogen" is good for building muscle, i never denied that. But I think estrogen containing products should be avoided because estrogen hinders fat loss. In fact estrogen "minimizes" the effects of T3 and T4, which is a bad thing if you wanna get ripped.. ( http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/ray-peat.htm )
Moreover there are several other reasons why to avoid soy products completly... ( http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/author25.htm )

Am I right in thinking that Caesin is better than Whey before bed? Caesin being a slower absorbed protein that could "feed" your muscles throught the night whearas whey is rapidly delivered, even with milk (by comparison to Caesin). Personally I just have half a litre of milk before bed.

Yea i hate cottege cheese so i have to have a shake with skim milk before bed instead. I'm sure it doesn't work as well as cottage cheese but i jsut can't stand that stuff.

When not in the mood for cottage cheese I down some whey protein mixed in milk and take fish oil and/or natural peanut butter to slow down absorbtion. Can't see paying the extra cash for Muscle Milk etc. when whey is a lot cheaper.
