    Fruit before bed

    Nothing else in the house except grapes/bannanas/apples this could be a good substitute to something like cottage cheese for a few weeks I assume.

    eh?

    i dont think it would, fruits contain little if any protein, plus lots of sugars and carbs, you need protein. i just drink a protein shake and eat like 2-3 oz. natural cheese.

    cottage cheese isnt acually that bad, it isnt bad for you, as long as you get the low fat kind. tell u somethin man.............do you like tunafish, cuz its low fat and its bout 26 grams of protein per can! thats more than the average powerbar, and it taste better. eat 2 cans per day for lunch and b4 bed and trust me ull get some great gains. yeah fruits are sugary, not that good for a bodybuilder diet. i eat apples alot but i make sure i do alot of cardio to make sure i burn away any calories. good luck.

    you need to eat some form of protein before you get to bed. 60% of muscle growth occurs at night, but only when the body has the proper nutrients.
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    tell you what, before bed eat 1 ounce hard cheese, 1 whole boiled egg, and 1-2 scoops protein depending on weight. if your like 150lbs, 1 ounce cheese, i boiled egg, 1 scoop protein.

    It is not a good substitute - one is protein and the other is a carbohydrate. they are completely different.

    If you are bulking and you are pretty active there is no reason why you can't have a small peice of fruit at night in COMBINATION with some protein and some healthy fats.

    This is because the carbs from the fruit will help 'top up' liver glycogen and restore and maintain your whole body glycogen/glucose during the evening as well (although your muscles use fats during the evening, your brain and some of your body cells - such as your red blood cells - can only use glucose during the evening and they will eat through your liver glycogen as you sleep... Also, having full liver glycogen stores is highly beneficial for anabolism in general). But I would make sure it was something like an apple or some berries, leave the nana and grapes for around workouts or eariler in the day.

    But, DO NOT have this alone - have it with something with a GOOD slow digesting protein - such as cottage cheese... And some healthy fats (such as flax, walnuts, PB etc) would also be a good thing to add.

    If you can't get a hold of cottage cheese some skim milk with some PB would be ok as an alternative (whole milk is ok as well - as the fats will also slow digestion...). Although in the case of using milk I would probably leave off the fruit (the milk has carbs in it).

    Other alternatives would be some meat (chicken, tuna) with some healthy fats or some salmon or whole eggs (these have natural fats which will help slow digestion)...

    I tried natty PB with CC the other night...and at first i was going strong, liking it. Then I hit a wall halfway through, and couldn't stomach another spoon full, it started to make me skeeved.

    NOOOOOOOO!!!! Let the poor girl strut all she wants! I wasnt complaining, just thinking she might get a repetitive stress injury or something...

    Ive heard of some people on here throwing the cc in the blender with PB then freezing it for an hour or 2...Apparently makes it yummy and easier to stomach. I dont have a problem with it, except being F*cking fed up with eating it!

    Eh shit happens LOL.

    No I was sleeping and forgot to eat my last meal...for some reason I woke up and in a frantic went to make food without fully waking up so I could go back to bed. Didn't turn the lights on or anything just grabbed some tuna, a bowl, and a jar LOL. The PB was still warm b/c it was a new one so it was smooth and just scooped right out...mixed and started to eat. I didn't even notice until like 2-3 bites later when I was almost done.
