    On a training day I would recommend you have a shake before bed - gives your body protein to work with over night. Just IMO.
    I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

    In general yes it is OK (you could do worse). Now, if it were me, I would use NF milk and a slower digesting protien (NF cottage cheese is good, or some kind of meat). The milk protien is mostly casinate (IRRC) so it is a slow digesting protein similar to NF cottage cheese.

    so your shake would contain only NF milk and cottage cheese and no whey?

    You can add some whey for flavor. However, if you can do without the whey you would be better off because whey is easier to digest; and therefore will not last as long (it will not slowly feed your body). Add some berries or a little banana if you need some flavor (assuming the carbs fit into your total diet). I would think the PB would be enough to make the cottage cheese/milk taste better.

    Whey us better in the morning and around your workouts (pre and post workout meals) because it of its ease of digestion.
