Thread: last meal question

its worth it for the casein.... if your really not hungry then just have the cottage cheese for the casein..... but having it right before bed i would say is good

no such thing as too close to your last meal buddy. Better to eat more frequently than less.

If it fits into your meal plan(i suppose you are cutting), go ahead.

As long as it does not happen too often it is not going to make a big difference either way.

If you are hungry, or if you feel like having it, then have your 6th meal. If you are satisfied or if eating such a large amount so close to bed causes you to have an upset stomach, then you may be better off skipping it.

If you wanted to have the calories you could also swap to a liquid meal - using a casein powder and blending it with some PB...

Alternatively, instead of having a meal 6, just make meal 5 slightly bigger than you normally would eat. For example, have an extra 1-2 oz of chicken and then add the PB to the meal too... That way your calories are not that different for the day, but you are not eating so close to bed as to give yourself stomach cramps.
