Thread: What is (in your opinion) the best pre-bed snack?

cut? bulk? maintain? schedule? diet?

I go with protein/fat before bed.

I like cottage cheese with a little natural peanut butter or almonds (sometimes I mix in some sugar free jam).

I find that as long as this fits in with your total macros for the day, P/F is an appropriate choice for before bed, so I do this regardless of my goal at a given time.

Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese/pb/pure cocoa/dash of cinnamon

i like a casein drink with crushed ice. I throw in a tbsp of flax to get the fats.

whey with some milk, or Cottage Cheese

Ok been reading about cottage cheese here so have been taking it prebed, took me a couple of nights to get used to the taste but now i love it....YUMMEEEEE............

i hate two things in life: cottage cheese and tuna from the can.

try the cottage cheese with either a pack of splenda, or for something really good, try it with a couple spoonfuls of flavored yogurt..yumyum!

Depends.



Goals, genetics, time of training, type of diet, personal preference... etc, etc... All will alter what is the best chioce.

Turkey and/or protein shake. the turkey will put you to sleep right away

I do brush my teeth before I hit bed though, but still I have to hear all about it.

There are two particularly good posts here:

If a gun was put to my head, I'd go with a protein/fat meal in general. There are exceptions. For example, an endo who is dieting, you will want to limit the fat and pick a slow digesting protein. Chicken, cottage cheese, or a casien based protein.

Also, for an ecto on a mass phase, I'd want there to be quality carbs in here.

In sum, it does depend, but here are some good options, in general, before bed:

* Casien based protein
* nuts/peanut butter
* steak
* whole eggs
* cheese
* cottage cheese
* Chicken
* Beef jerky

I was told to eat raw almonds as opposed to roasted. I believe it had to do with the damaging of natural oils from the roasting.
