    No, a protein shake is far from a meal. Unless its a meal replacement shake. which is dumb. If you can eat another meal, then by all means eat it, but make sure you are not eatin to much garbage to close to bed time.

    And you stomach empties every 2.5- 3 hours, so eat up.

    No - the only reason why you would not want to eat really close to going to bed is if you have difficulty sleeping with a really full stomach or if you suffer from reflux (and then lying down too close to eating causes a problem).

    I would have carbs and protein before you workout, then have your post-workout shake (both carbs and protein again) and then have at least one solid meal before bed. Would probably choose something different to chicken - In this meal a good protein source would be something like cottage cheese as the type of protein it will provide you with will be most beneficial in terms of nitrogen retention and growth stimulation. You would also benefit from healthy fats in this meal (walnuts, flax, fish-oils etc) as this will slow the digestion of the protein and will prolong the supply of amino acids into your blood. Some fibre (eg: Green vegetables) would also be fine.

    You are least active when sleeping, you barely burn any 'fat'. Cottage cheese is excellent before bed. Do a search on here, you will find many a good things to eat for your last meal.

    100% false...when the body is at rest the primary energy source of skeletal muscle is free fatty acids...60% of growth hormone is released at night during sleep, GH accelerates lipolysis (fat burning)...

    I would never replace a meal with just a protein shake, let alone a meal replacement shake. If he is at home and has the convenience of a kitchen and food, It would be dumb not to eat real food. Am I wrong?
    (and if your saying that because you think a protein shake is not a meal, sorry but thats in-sequential)

    The PWO shake should not be counted as a meal. But to say that a protein shake does not count as a meal is incorrect. The human body can not differentiate between nutrients derived from whole foods or shakes. the nutritional content is all that matters...
