What are the best type of carbs to eat before bed?

Right now I have a casein shake with about 30 grams of carbs in it. Im looking to up my carbs before bed to around 60ish.

Any help is appreciated.

unless you are an ecto on a bulk and having trouble gaining weight there's no real reason to ingest carbs before bed

right, the best thing to eat before bed is cottage cheese hands down!. a cup / cup1/2 of it is golden before bed.

I know, but I have been eating 70-90 grams of carbs 6 times day every 2 1/2 hours. My pre-bedtime casein is the lowest carb meal that I have right now. Im not built like an ecto but my metabolism is just crazy when it comes to gaining weight.

Never hurts to try something.

I'd go with oats.

For optimal anabolism I would recommend you had something that was going to top up not only your muscle glycogen, but also your liver glycogen (never underestimate the anabolic state this puts you in).

A mixture of milk, oats, CC and walnuts/PB (+/- a little fruit like berries) would be an example of a reasonable pre-bed meal for someone like yourself who has huge troubles with getting your food in.

Because you are bulking than I feel complex, slow burning carbs before bed are fine. Have some cottage cheese, splenda, cinnamon and some fiber one cereal all mixed up. Good and tasty

Normally I dont hate cottage cheese, but that might not be too bad.

Thanks everyone.

A dude I train with has a quote: "After 6 o'clock, you eat it, you keep it". I don't quite folllow this and I generally have a small bowl of Cheerios with a small amount of skim milk (6 Oz roughly). Hits the spot perfectly.
