Has anyone got any suggestions on bedtime high protein food that digests slowly as gone right off cottage cheese and eggs at the moment .....   Thanks Gaz

Normal whey protein will do just fine..if you want to buy a differnt protein just for pre bed..then its casein powder you need. thats the slow digesting stuff

I use red meat. Its digested slowly.  Steak before bed with an egg, nowt wrong with that protein combo'.

alot more tasty too mmmmm

I can understand you getting bored of cottage cheese - but eggs are pretty versatile. Make a nice omleette with tomatoes and onions n turkey ham or somethin.......

nice idea!!! although i reckon i could even manage to burn that

i generally have omellete with chicken prawns, onions etc........ lovelly  ;D

i use millar casein ....... sori bout spelling its in system upto 7 hours !!!!
take it every bedtime but always wake up in middle of the nioght and have 2 eat a steak !!!!

Eggs, steak etc are fine if you can prepare a meal. Eggs are usually easy to prepare/cook.

I would look at a protein blend pre bed ifyou choose to have a protein shake. Whey in water will be reasonably quickly uptaken.

Exactly the same as bigkelvo, i use the reflex minecullar casien protein. works a treat.

yer i use reflex casine its really good but doest taste too brillient

this is making me hungry. im starving ;D

I used CNP pro-peptide before bed as it is a casein based, and therefore is a slower release over the night.

For Gods sake stop talking about food! :) Read my "starving "thread.

protein is an excellent night time food.

it's really the only thing that should be consumed in quantity at night time when the level of activity is low. low fat cottage cheese and low carb blended protein shakes are optimum for night time use. they are anti-catabolic so they can actually help to preserve muscle mass while losing body fat.

carbs are not only more likely to be converted to lipids when consumed late at night but they also cause insulin levels to increase drastically. this causes a decrease in growth hormone secretion during the end of the 1st sleep cycle. gh is the most powerful fat burning substance that the body produces and the most anti-catabolic substance as well.
