Pre-bed casein

How necessary is it, really? What I understand is that sufficient daily intake is more important than timing, but the pre-bed casein dogma is as old as time. Casein or an otherwise slow-ish release protein like meat, that is. From here on out I'm not confident that I can drop enough money on casein protein so that I can whip up a shake every night... Same with meat. I've been doing it for a while though and gym progress is going strong, so could I experience a set-back if I'm not vigilantly on top of my nitrogen balance? I drink whey with milk every morning anyway.

About as necessary as sticking your dick in an electrical socket.

So not necessary.

Wish I would have come to this thread before I got frisky with my wall... lesson learned

So on an if-you're-into-that-kind-of-thing basis. Makes sense.

Well I have a lot of wasted years.

constantly keeping amino acids in the bloodstream is useful but why does nobody mention that raising body temp (TEF) can **** up sleep?

if you're on a budget no it's not worth it but if you have money sure why not

eating 6x per day is clearly superior to 1x even with the same macros

Hmm I never sleep any sooner than 2 and a half hours past my last meal anyway and no sooner than 2 if it's just a casein shake. I can't imagine going to bed on a full stomach, that sounds terrible.

Pre bed protein may offer a small advantage to recovery and growth but the studies so far haven't been able to provide compelling evidence.

It can be any kind of protein, it doesn't have to be casein.

If you eat a late dinner it will greatly diminish the potential for pre bed protein.
