i work out late in the afternoon....should I...

vanessa5691 · 01-23-2007, 07:03 PM

eat my last meal of the day as a normal post-workout meal? (a full meal of protein and complex carbs like oatmeal), but should I also have a snack of casein and fat (some cottage cheese and walnuts) right before I sleep?
Note: there would only be like an hour gap between these 2 meals..

I'm not a bodybuilder or anything I'm a tennis player...working on gaining muscle...

thanks in advance

If you are wanting to gain muscle then I would say to eat your normal meal and before beddy bye eat your casein and some fat.

What time is your last meal?How many meals do you have during the day?

I would do the carbs (like oatmeal) and Protein PWO, and then your bedtime snack 2 hrs later(cottage cheese and some walnuts)

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordan
