Reply With QuoteYeah, we need to know what you are eating. It may be possible to change around your macros so the food passes slower through your GI tract.

I usually eat a 1100 cal meal before bed on training days. I don't think 800 is anything too much.

Sleep vs Eating
I posted this in training and realized it should be here.. sorry:
Ok i know sleep is important to gains, but eating is also important to gains. My issue is that I get hungry during the night and wake up and it takes me about an hour to get back to sleep.
I try not to pack in a massive meal but i do eat a normal sized (800cal due to bulking) meal just before i go to bed. Should i try to eat more so i dont wake up? or should just keep doing this? I figure eating in the middle of the night is good too.
I guess sleep eating would be awesome but i dont know how to train that :P

What kinds of things would you suggest to eat for a pre-bed meal? Originally Posted by fufu

Slow digesting proteins, and maybe some fiber/good fats

Get a mini fridge and put it next to your bed.. and drink a pre made protein shake, then go back to sleep. Originally Posted by chico1st
