Consuming protein in the evening

[weppe]

I have dinner around 5, cottage cheese around 8 and eggs around 10. Then I have a casein shake 30 min before bed around 11.

Are these protein consumptions too late in the evening or too tight? Would meal timing matter here?

I know carbs before going to sleep isn't good but I'm just afraid the two meals before the casein shake is too late to fully count. I don't want the stuff to store as fat.

Eating before bed is a personal preference. Eating before bed will not cause extra weight gain or anything like that, it'll just maybe lead to some discomfort or trouble sleeping for some people.

I eat whole eggs so there's some more stuff other than only protein. That's fine?

If you sleep alone, a bunch of eggs are fine.

Hahaha. My stomach doesn't get upset by the typical stuff I feel blessed for that.

Meal/nutrient timing in the grand scheme of things is largely irrelevant as long as you're hitting your weekly calorie/macro targets.

Great line, especially the weekly calorie/macro target. Too many people get hyperfocused on macro/micros per day that it becomes almost unsustainable from a cooking/cost standpoint, especially if doing IF.

Your protein consumption timing is generally fine. Having cottage cheese and eggs before a casein shake is good for nighttime protein intake. Meal timing matters, but it's unlikely to store as fat with a protein-focused approach. Don't worry too much; your current routine seems balanced.

Carbs are fine before bed
