What's your point, LAM?

hi guys im 50, and have a milk protein shake before bed, worked for me for the last god knows how many years ! if i wake up in the middle of the night i dont feel like anythin accept a glass of water but have my shake and oats first thing, solid meal when i get to work. as eating is one of my favourite past times i have no problem bulking the only thing is i have to watch myself at this age as losing weight is getting harder and no i dont like cardio either.

Patrick, so weird you mentioned this because I too wake twice during the night ,hungry.

I crave protein and fat. A protein shake and a TBSP of peanut butter gets me satisfied and back to sleep. I eat regularly throughout the day as well.

I don't think I could make it through the night without it. My metabolism is great. On top of my 5-6 meals a day, I have 3 night time feeds. I've never heard of anyone else doing this. I'd love some feedback.

casein protein hurts my stomach, i believe in having a lean meat meal such as tuna and olive oil along with some veggies.

Good thread. It is not easy to change our notions about reality. There is so much emotion tied to it (ie. if this isn't true then what else isn't true). However, I too continue to learn which requires that we be able to change our views.
