Whats the best meal to eat right before bed?
Any ideas? I'm thinking something along the lines of oatmeal and a scoop of whey? Good?

"Strength is the product of struggle"
"Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."

great question!
Here's something from the book Food Remedies:
Insomnia...Restful Foods
"eating draws blood into the gastrointestinal tract and away from the brain...if you draw blood away from the brain, you're going to get sleepy"
turkey, chicken and dairy ~ high in trytophan (amino acid which is converted into serotonin...which is converted into malatonin...both make you feel relaxed). Trytophan best in combonation with starch (insulin pushes all amino acids except trypotphan into muscle cells...leaves trypot alone in blood stream...and it's 1st in line to get to brain).
B vitamins help tryptophan work more efficiently. Found in lean meat, tuna. (although I think B vitamins...like honey...can spike energy?)
banana or bowl of oatmeal will slightly boost your melatonin levels.
not enought magnesium stimulates brain neurotransmitters...over stimulates brain. magnesium found in dried beans, spinach, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and almonds.
..........
just some info I'd read. Looking for to reading/learning more.

If your bulking, then I like eating 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs cooked in 1 Tbsp Olive Oil, and 2 cups of skim milk. You can add some chocolate mix made with splenda to the milk if you don't like drinking regular skim.

As long as they fit into your total calories carbs are fine before bed - cutting or bulking (they can help to retain lean mass when cutting and will aid in anabolism when bulking).
